We are delighted to present to the market this long-established and highly regarded tube manipulation and metal fabrication business, located in the North West of England.
Established in 2005, the business has developed an excellent reputation for quality, reliability, technical expertise and competitiveness within the metal fabrication sector. The company specialises in bespoke manipulated and fabricated pipework, supporting a wide range of commercial, industrial and automotive-related applications.
The business is ISO 9001:2015 accredited and operates from an established UK manufacturing facility, with a skilled team and a range of modern tube bending and metal fabrication equipment.
Services include CNC mandrel bending, tube manipulation, tube beading, flat plate metal forming, welding, metal fabrication, tube expansion and reduction, product development and reverse engineering. The company is well placed to support both bespoke one-off projects and repeat production requirements.
The business supplies a range of commercial and industrial customers, with particular experience supporting customers connected to engineering, commercial vehicle manufacturing and OEM supply chains.
This is a confidential sale and further details, including the business name, exact location, financial information and customer profile, will only be released to seriously interested parties following completion of a Non-Disclosure Agreement.

The company can manufacture to customer drawings, templates or physical samples, with product development and reverse engineering capability supporting both new and existing customer requirements.
In addition to its established commercial customer base, the business benefits from an online sales channel supplying tubular bends, pipe parts and associated accessories.
This provides an additional route to market and offers further potential for growth through improved digital marketing, product range expansion and increased online visibility.
The business is now being offered for sale to allow the shareholders to pursue other interests.
