We are proud to be working in partnership with Aston University on a Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) project focused on delivering a more sustainable future for manufacturing.

Our goal is to develop a comprehensive Sustainable Manufacturing Strategy that enables us to measure energy usage and carbon output at a component level. By gaining greater transparency and insight into our electricity consumption, we can identify inefficiencies, reduce our carbon footprint, and meet the growing demand from customers for environmental accountability.
With over 60 years’ experience in supplying pressings, machined parts and welded assemblies to Tier 1 automotive suppliers – including those serving Toyota, BMW and Nissan – we recognise the importance of staying at the forefront of innovation.
This project also allows us to support the next generation of sustainability professionals, with a dedicated KTP Associate working alongside our team to embed change. Together, we are taking active steps towards Net Zero – not just in principle, but in practice.
