Manufacture

With a heritage dating back to 1935, the organisation brings world-class engineering expertise and global manufacturing capability to every project. Established facilities in Coventry (UK), Shanghai (China) and India, together with a distribution and engineering presence in Germany, provide truly global coverage – combining local responsiveness with international scale. 

Operations are conducted in accordance with the highest industry standards. The organisation is certified to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001, maintaining robust quality and environmental management systems. Where applicable, manufacturing also complies with recognised welding and fabrication standards such as EN 15085, ensuring consistent safety, quality and regulatory compliance across all production locations. 

The organisation specialises in energy-absorption and buffer systems for elevators, rail and industrial applications, delivering solutions that range from standard hydraulic buffers to bespoke, high-performance crash energy management systems. 

Testing and validation capabilities are among the most comprehensive in the industry. In addition to CAD, FEA and advanced simulation tools, the organisation operates independent laboratory test facilities accredited to relevant standards. Purpose-built test infrastructure includes a full-scale indoor impact facility (the “Titan Rig”), drop towers and drop rigs, endurance and strength-testing rigs, environmental chambers for extreme temperature and corrosion testing, and a high-tower drop-test facility for lift buffers. These capabilities enable thorough validation of dynamic performance under demanding real-world conditions. 

By combining global manufacturing reach, rigorous certification and compliance, and state-of-the-art testing and validation, the organisation delivers engineered energy-absorption solutions that can be trusted – wherever projects are located worldwide.
