Smith Metal Fabrications is proud to offer a broad spectrum of manufacturing capabilities for many different industries. We have developed a reputation and have extensive experience at working in stainless steel. The pharmaceutical industry specifies stainless steel work such as trays, trolleys, frames, ductwork and piping. Similarly, the food industry demands a great deal of our stainless steel work for cabinets, worktops, tables and seating. The semiconductor and electrical industries require cabinets and containers, punched plates and brackets to be fabricated. The shop-fitting, furniture, banking, building, boating and leisure industries, i.e. swimming pools railings, ladders, steps, handrails etc are also supported.

Large or small, SMF is happy to tackle the production, be it large security grilles and gates, or lift and turn hoppers. Why not make contact with us to discuss your specific needs further.

AEP precision engineering

AEP Precision Engineering began trading in 1984 as a small sub-contract machine shop, and is still supplying customers from that era, Smith Metal Fabrications Limited being one of those. With Smith Metal Fabrications securing a major contract for medical equipment in 1990, which required many machined parts, an alliance between AEP & SMF was formed. This Partnership has allowed us to offer customers a range of facilities not usually found under one roof, carried out by loyal and highly experienced staff.

The last few years have seen AEP, although a small company; continue to upgrade equipment on a regular basis. We currently undertake work from companies dealing in the semi-conductor, medical, electronics, automotive, shop-fitting and building industries etc. This work involves a wide variety of materials, batch sizes and components. We also have access to suppliers with a full range of electroplating and hardening facilities.

• Yang Eagle 100 20 station machining centre offline programming
• Matchmaker VMC850 16 station machining centre offline programming
