UK-Based Near-Shore Supply for OEMs and Tier-1s metal stamping and pressings
Metal Assemblies Ltd is a UK-based manufacturer specialising in precision metal pressings and welded assemblies, supplying customers across Europe from its advanced manufacturing facility in West Bromwich, England. With more than 60 years of experience, the company supports European OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers seeking reliable, near-shore production for pressed components, robotic welded assemblies and fully engineered sub-assemblies.
European Supply Without Offshore Risk
European manufacturers are increasingly re-shoring and near-shoring metal components to reduce long lead times, logistics disruption, sustainability risk and quality concerns. Metal Assemblies provides a stable UK manufacturing base with efficient access into Germany, France, Benelux and Central Europe, offering a practical alternative to offshore sourcing while maintaining competitive total landed cost.
Core Manufacturing Capabilities
Metal Assemblies’ manufacturing capabilities are centred on precision metal pressings and complex welded assemblies. In-house processes include high-volume presswork using single-operation and progression tooling, robotic welding for repeatable quality, CNC machining for precision features, tube manipulation, turned parts and dedicated manufacturing cells. This vertically integrated approach enables customers to consolidate suppliers, reduce risk and accelerate programme delivery.
Designed for European OEM and Tier-1 Expectations
Operating as a Tier-2 manufacturing partner, Metal Assemblies supports customers from early design feasibility through to serial production. Accredited BSI, ISO and IATF-aligned quality systems ensure traceability, consistency and confidence for regulated European markets, while experienced engineers provide DFM support to optimise components for pressings, welding and assembly.
Industry 4.0, AI and Digital Manufacturing
The company has invested heavily in digital manufacturing, embedding real-time machine monitoring, data-driven process control and automated inspection across production. Through collaboration with Aston University and the Aston–Capgemini Centre of Excellence for Enterprise AI, Metal Assemblies applies AI-enabled analytics to quality management, supporting European customers pursuing Industry 4.0 and Industry 5.0 strategies
