What is Metal Folding?

Metal folding (also known as metal bending or brake pressing) is the process of reshaping flat sheet metal into 2D or 3D forms using a hydraulic or electric press brake. Using programmable tooling, we fold parts with high accuracy and tight tolerances — no distortion, no cracking, no compromise.

• CNC-controlled press brakes for consistent angle accuracy
   
• Up to 3-metre bend length capacity
   
• Tonnage to support heavy-gauge materials
   
• Bend angles up to 135°
   
• Material thicknesses from 0.5mm to 10mm
   

We work with a full range of materials including:

• Mild steel
   
• Stainless steel
   
• Aluminium
   
• Galvanised & zinc-coated sheet
   
• Perforated and patterned sheet metals
   

Our folded components are used in:

• Construction frames & support structures
   
• Brackets, enclosures & panels
   
• HVAC ducts and fittings
   
• Signage & display systems
   
• Agricultural and automotive parts
   
• Architectural metalwork & balustrades
   

Every component is folded with precision, repeatability, and care.
