Three decades of fabrication, under one roof
Over three decades of fabrication experience, on the floor and in the management team, have shaped how we run this workshop. Our 34,000 sq ft factory in Sittingbourne, Kent, is equipped for the full range of sheet metal and assembly work in steel and aluminium, from prototype and first-article production through to repeat volumes in the tens of thousands. For many clients, we also take care of mechanical and electrical assembly, packing in the client’s own branded materials, full material and test certification, and logistics through to the end destination. For construction, hard landscaping, and infrastructure clients, that final step matters.
What we run in the fabrication and assembly workshop
The fabrication and assembly workshop runs 18 hours a day, equipped for the full range of sheet metal work: laser cutting, CNC turret punching, CNC brake press and folding, tube bending, manual and robotic MIG/TIG welding, and the bench processes that finish a part or an assembly — sawing, milling, polishing, countersinking, tapping, riveting, nutsert fitting, and spot welding. This is supported by lifting equipment, measurement tools, and packing capability for client-branded despatch.
A strategic manufacturing partner
Contracts Engineering works with clients who want a strategic manufacturing partner. In practice, that means integrating into your supply chain: stockholding agreements, kitting, assembly, documentation, and logistics alongside the fabrication itself, with flexible pricing models, rebate schemes, consignment stock, and vendor-managed inventory for partnerships where the volume justifies them. Controlled, repeatable manufacturing delivers consistent results from early prototype through to full-rate production. Our work goes out to clients across the UK and into Europe, the Middle East, and North America.
