High-performance starts with mindset 👊

Discipline, consistency and stepping up under pressure to deliver when it matters most - values we believe in both on and off the field.

We’re proud to support Mark Adair representing Ireland as they take on New Zealand this week during the four-day match at Stormont.

This is the first time the two sides have met in the red-ball format and the 13th Test in Ireland Men's history.

Wishing Mark and the team all the best as they head into day three - you can follow the match and watch highlights from the previous two days here: https://buff.ly/DvkaT18

In foundry tooling, there's no room for inconsistency. Dimensional accuracy, surface finish and thermal stability aren't optional - they're essential.

Our polyurethane tooling boards support the full range of foundry applications, from patterns and core boxes to prototype tooling, sand casting and hand moulding, across both low and high volume production.

✅ High dimensional stability
✅ Easy machining
✅ Consistent surface finish
✅ Thermal stability
✅ Reliable repeatability

Alongside our range of DNV-type approved Subtec® buoyancy materials, we also offer a range of shallow water buoyancy materials 🌊🤝

Comprised of a unique copolymer formulation with a closed-cell structure for high water resistance that ensures buoyancy is maintained over time, our shallow water materials are qualified for use in seawater depths from the surface down to 800 MSW, with densities ranging from 100 to 330 kg/m3. 💪 💙

Available in a variety of sizes and thicknesses, ready for use, we can manufacture buoyancy modules to your exact drawings and specifications. 👀

All our buoyancy modules come with the option to add a protective coating for abrasion and impact resistance. We also offer custom markings and custom paint finishes to help bring your project to life! 🖌️✨️

Shallow water buoyancy foam materials are ideal for applications such as:

☑️ Submarines
☑️ ROVs
☑️ AUVs

🔥 High temperatures
🤏 Tight tolerances
🎯 Zero margin for error

Aerospace composite tooling demands a material built for the job.

BE769 is our high-performance, specially toughened epoxy tooling board, designed for demanding high-temperature aerospace applications. It allows multiple parts to be produced directly from the tool, supporting consistent, reliable performance across complex production programmes.

✅ Excellent surface finish
✅ High-temperature resistance
✅ Excellent dimensional stability
✅ Low coefficient of thermal expansion
✅ Easy to machine

Ideal for master models, patterns, vacuum forming and thermoforming across commercial, defence and advanced composite programmes.

Greenwashing isn't always obvious at first glance, so it is crucial to know what to watch out for in order to avoid being misled. ⚠️

When it comes to sustainability, its important claims are backed by data you can verify, not attention-grabbing headlines that are unqualified or unsubstantiated.

We're committed to transparency and making sure you have the full picture - providing clear, verifiable environmental data.

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has developed the Green Claims Code, which sets out guidance and tips to help you identify genuine environmental claims.

Over time, harsh operating conditions can leave subsea buoyancy modules damaged, worn or degraded.

But full replacement isn't always the answer.

Our Buoyancy Repair & Refurbishment Service offers a cost-effective alternative, restoring modules to 'as new' condition and extending service life without compromising performance. Full certification and documentation included.

If you have modules that need attention, or simply want to get ahead of potential issues, we'd love to help.
