🔎Qimtek Supplier Highlight:
Henley Engineers - a family-run precision engineering business, in the same family since 1942. 👏

They combine decades of heritage with modern capability to deliver machined and fabricated parts tailored to clients’ needs. What they bring to the table:

• In-house CAD & prototyping, allowing them to iterate bespoke parts quickly
• Full machining across steels, aluminium, and more
• Welding & fabrication (MIG, TIG, ARC) across a broad range of materials
• Laser profiling, metal bending, and sheet metal work

Over the years, Henley Engineers has invested heavily in growth and efficiency. For example, they recently secured a grant to install an on-site nitrogen generation system - reducing reliance on external suppliers and enabling more precise laser cutting, especially for thinner carbon steel sheets. They’ve also refurbished and expanded their machinery, investing over £750,000 in the last six years.

It’s companies like Henley, rooted in tradition but always moving forward, that help keep our UK manufacturing base strong.
