10 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐟𝐚𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫 Small private businesses, including custom metal fabricators, typically fall into two categories: lifestyle businesses and growth businesses. Lifestyle businesses focus on the owner's personal needs and preferences, while growth businesses aim to build long-term value and sustainability. Transitioning to a growth-oriented model is challenging but crucial for companies looking to increase value, create lasting jobs, and expand into new markets. For example, Skilcraft LLC , a contract metal fabricator, broke through geographic barriers by expanding capabilities and targeting industries like aerospace and medical, which led to significant growth. Scaling requires optimizing processes, systems, and customer base, while investing in people and leadership to ensure long-term success. Ultimately, a growth-focused company not only increases profitability but also leaves a lasting legacy that extends beyond the founder's tenure. https://lnkd.in/gPFPQbqn The Fabricator | John M.

It’s been flat out here post workshop move - which deserves its own post at some point - and I just realised I missed a post last Friday…! Found myself in the workshop today catching up on a couple of customer jobs. Here’s the Speedio charging through some brass parts - I get four out of each plate, fully finishing and tabbing the outer two with a program stop, before finishing and tabbing the inner two. It took some thought to get enough clearance for the inner parts, and a back chamfer tool came in very handy for a couple of the obstructed edge breaks. (Yes I’m well aware the initial stock is way too big but I had it leftover from another job, and very rarely run any Brass 😅) #cncmachining #machinist #ukmanufacturing #entrepreneur #smallbusiness #design #engineering #solopreneur #designengineer

Leicester-based metalwork firm, ADS Laser Cutting, has reported a significant upturn over the past three years in contracts to supply Scandinavian-headquartered businesses and anticipates this growth trajectory will continue throughout 2025 https://lnkd.in/e6QYJVPd

Core making at its finest. 👌 As you can see, we’ve nailed precision and repeatability in our core-making process. This technique is essential for forming internal shapes or hollow sections inside castings, allowing us to create complex structures that would be difficult or impossible to achieve with other methods. That’s exactly what we’ve accomplished with the examples below. ✅ #Casting #MetalCasting #Foundry #MetalFoundry #Engineering #Manufacturing #CoreMaking

Casting after casting after casting! Each of these newly manufactured castings are tailored to meet specific customer requirements. As you can see, we've mastered the art of different shapes and sizes, ensuring your casting needs are always fulfilled. 👍 #Casting #MetalCasting #Foundry #MetalFoundry #Engineering #Manufacturing

On one level, overhauling engines and their components is straightforward. Not easy, but straightforward. The process involves inspecting the equipment, dismantling it into individual components, and carefully examining each part. Each element is then evaluated, and either repaired, serviced, or replaced as needed. But sometimes, a spanner is thrown into the works (thankfully not literally!). During the recent overhaul of some turbochargers, we discovered the covers were cracked and corroded – they couldn’t be brought back to life and needed to be replaced. There was a problem, though: With long lead times for replacements – It wasn’t possible to get new ones in time to meet the customers’ requirements. Rather than letting the operator down, we did what we’ve done so many times over the years: we used our significant technical expertise and experience to tackle the issue head-on, and in-house. Our senior machinist Gary has the skill to make this type of turbocharger cover right here at Colchester HQ, so, he manufactured new covers from scratch, perfect for the turbochargers. We avoided extra costs and lead time thanks to Gary’s skills. It’s that in-house skill and expertise that has made Bartech such an indispensable part of so many engineering teams over the years, and if you’d like a partner who thinks creatively to solve problems, look no further.
