Indeed, as the use of CNC throughout the
business continues to increase, recent investment in press brakes has further aided the
fabrication process. This has brought with it a
number of advantages such as performance
efficiency, flexibility and cost savings.
It’s the result of its investment in new
technologies that Accrofab has maintained
its sector-leading market position. Its expertise and experience across a range of manufacturing techniques including sheet metal
working, laser cutting, welding and heat
treatment, has seen it work with some of the
world’s leading aerospace developers,
researchers and manufacturers.
Accredited to BSEN ISO9001:2008
including AS9100 Rev C and NADCAP (for
welding, brazing, vacuum heat treatment,
non-destructive testing, laser cutting and
EDM), and a preferred supplier to global
aerospace brands, Accrofab’s integrated
