Its offering is an integrated one-stop sheet metal fabrication service spanning five capabilities: laser cutting (AMADA Ventis fibre optic laser for sheets up to 4x2m and up to 25mm thick), high-speed punching (Trumpf punch with automatic tool changes), bending (AMADA HFE 3i press brakes up to 4m), fabrication/welding (MIG, TIG and induction) and CAD/CAM programming using RADAN, which accepts .dwg, .dxf and .iges files, optimises cutting paths and distributes programmes to machines via QR-coded work orders. An automated 27-tonne material handling system supports 24/7 lights-out operation.

The company sells directly to manufacturing and precision-engineering customers (including automotive, aerospace and general engineering use cases) on a quote-based, project-specific, pay-as-you-go model with no disclosed long-term contracts or recurring fees. Distribution is domestic UK only, go-to-market is direct via phone, email and website enquiry, and the company does not disclose revenue, customers or funding. ISO 9001:2015 certification (achieved March 2022) is the principal external quality credential, and Roger Lavender is the named Managing Director.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Direct peers

• Alpha Manufacturing: UK precision engineering and contract manufacturer providing precision sheet metal, machined components and assemblies. Comparable to Fab-Tech as a directly competing UK contract fabrication shop with similar B2B customer base and equipment profile.
• Qualitetch: UK-based precision sheet metal fabrication services provider offering laser cutting, punching, bending and CNC fabrication to UK manufacturers. Directly comparable to Fab-Tech in service scope, customer base, and small-to-mid scale.

Others

• Bodycote: UK-headquartered global provider of heat treatment and metal processing services. Adjacent service that often pairs with sheet metal fabrication in customer supply chains and competes for similar manufacturing-budget wallets.
• Trumpf UK: UK presence of German-headquartered Trumpf, manufacturer of machine tools including the high-speed punch deployed in Fab-Tech's operation. Functions as a key equipment supplier rather than a direct competitor.
• AMADA UK: UK arm of Japanese-headquartered AMADA, manufacturer of sheet metal machinery including the AMADA Ventis laser and AMADA HFE 3i press brakes used by Fab-Tech. Not a competitor but a critical technology supplier on which the business depends.

Broad incumbents

• Brett Martin: Northern Ireland-based manufacturer of metal and plastic products including roofing, cladding and fabricated sheet metal components. Broader product portfolio but serves overlapping UK industrial and construction customers, making it a comparable broader incumbent.
