Cutting Technologies is trusted by many Manufacturers to be a critical part of their production process. The reason for this is simple - we produce the right product at the right time at the right price.
We have substantial production capacity to ensure your parts are cut on time - we have three laser systems running 24 hours per day to meet your deadlines, so you don't need to carry large stocks. We understand that stable part prices are as important as quality and delivery, so we do everything we can to be competitive, and to reduce our overheads on an ongoing basis - we can't do too much about material fluctuations, but we do everything we can to buffer you from the worst excesses of the whims of the mills! Typical Manufacturers we work with include:
| Agricultural | Construction | Security |
| Shopfitting | Pre-Fabrication | Transport |
| Medical | Fasteners | Catering |
| Lighting | Mobility | Handling |
| Conveyors | Pharmaceutical | Many many more... |

We work extensively with manufacturers of agricultural equipment. We understand the issues faced by manufacturers - many of us have worked in the same environment, and our processes are designed to fit with your needs, not ours! We cut everything from steel through aluminium to nylon, so we can usually do what you need.
We specialise in supplying industries that predominantly work with Stainless Steel. We have years of experience processing polished materials, and the work we do for the creative markets means we really know how to handle components that have to be aesthetically right, as well as engineered correctly. We also work with brass, copper and other non-ferrous materials, so we can offer the full service.
We make components and assemblies for manufacturers of Fruit Machines, Vending Machines, Coin Changing Equipment and Cash Machines. We make parts ranging from mechanical levers through sheet metal fascias to acrylic panels, and just about everyhting else. If you don't see your product here, don't worry, we probably do parts for it, we just haven't got the room to show everything!
Conveyor manufacturers are a major client group for us. We understand the drawings, and can develop flat parts from your system files. Applications range from food & pharmceutical through to waste disposal and aggregate movement. We have the capacity to process all materials from stainless steel to wear plate.
Information about why our Laser Cutting Service is second to none -
We're competitive (surprisingly so sometimes!). Our processes are designed to minimise overhead so our prices are great, allowing you to maximise your margin.
We do everything to try to keep our prices stable - we understand you might issue a price list that's very difficult to change.
We don't mind quoting for multiple quantities, and cutting everything from prototypes to high volumes -we understand there's a design process to get your product to market.
We're reliable - we deliver when we say we will so we don't hold up your production; we're quick - our lead times are short so you don't have to hold stocks.
Our Quality System is solid - we use a visual system to let everyone in the production chain know your requirements - we don't rely on a dusty manual stuck on a shelf! We track everything from material source through issue levels to who cut your parts.
We buy the best material and use the best lasers to ensure you get the best quality component; we make your production easier, and improve your end product.
Although we don't fabricate in-house we have many clients who are experts - we can offer you fully finished assemblies, including everything from folding through plating to powder coating.
We control part issue levels - order to the latest issue for production, or order an earlier version for spares replacement.
Our service is country-wide. Although we're based in Barnsley our main customers are in London, Scotland, Cumbria, Nottingham & Manchester
We deliver - we use a local company to do a same-day service; we use overnight carriers and couriers for next day. Standard delivery is included in our quoted price - you don't get a nasty shock when you receive the invoice.
We keep all your part details on file - you can place a repeat order years after we've done a job and we'll have the information.
We can't list all our advantages here - the page would be too long! Hopefully the above gives you a flavour. We think we're just about perfect, but then we would wouldn't we! Try us and see what you think - Contact us now...
