With over 40 years of experience in the manufacturing industry, you’re in the right hands with RED. Our engineering services, including sheet metal fabrication, laser cutting, metal folding, welding and metal finishing services, cater to a wide range of industries, ensuring quality and efficiency in every project we undertake.

What Engineering Services Does RED Offer?

At RED Manufacturing, our engineering services are designed to meet the diverse needs of our clients, providing precision sheet metal fabrication and more.

Sheet Metal Fabrication

Our sheet metal fabrication services cover a broad spectrum of materials, including:

Aluminium Fabrication:

Known for its lightweight properties, aluminium requires specialised welding techniques to ensure strength and durability. Our team is experienced in aluminium fabrication, creating high-quality products that are both functional and visually appealing.

Stainless Steel Fabrication

Stainless steel is valued for its strength and resistance to corrosion. While it requires more energy to fabricate, the result is a durable and versatile product suitable for a wide range of applications. Our expertise in stainless steel fabrication ensures that we deliver superior results for any project.

Our capabilities extend to working with galvanized steel, zinc, and copper, allowing us to cater to various industries, including automotive, healthcare, and construction.

Laser Cutting

Our laser cutting services, powered by the Durma HD-FO 3015 Laser, handle complex shapes and parts with unmatched precision. This advanced laser cutting technology ensures efficient processing times and minimal material waste, enabling us to offer competitive pricing without compromising on quality. We also have our trusty guillotines to support our milling and cutting services.

Metal Folding

The Ermaksan Hydraulic Press Brake allows us to provide precise metal folding for custom parts and products. Controlled by a CNC system, this machine guarantees consistent results across all pieces, ensuring the highest quality every time.

Welding Service

We offer MIG welding services, known for speed and strength. This method is ideal for large-scale production and can be applied to a wide range of materials, including varying thicknesses. Our MIG welding produces clean, strong welds that meet industry standards and exceed customer expectations.

Metal Finishing

The finishing touches can make all the difference. That’s why we offer a range of metal finishing services to ensure your products not only perform well but also look their best. Our metal finishing includes wet spraying for a smooth, even coating, powder coating for a thick, scratch-resistant finish, and phosphate treatment as a protective base layer to prevent corrosion and enhance durability. Each process is designed to meet the specific needs of your project, ensuring long-lasting quality.
