KME’s design engineers use the latest 3D solidworks design software to produce conceptual designs through to large assembly designs. We can quickly produce production ready 2D drawings that clearly communicate how the design should be manufactured.

KME have invested in state of the art laser cutting technology to produce consistently accurate components across a wide range of materials and sheet thickness. We can supply cut only kits or carry out additional operations.

KME have invested in surface finishing equipment for customers who require high standards of material preparation prior to painting. We can offer either round bowl vibratory finishing or a wet system for high end de-burring and finishing.

KME are able to provide a comprehensive machining service. We have invested in the latest high precision CNC machines and skilled operators with years of experience. Our machine shop is capable of producing both low and high volume components using a wide range of materials.

KME have been involved with the design and manufacture of bespoke steel moulds since the formation of the company in 1980. We have a vast mould design  knowledge and are able to fully understand our customers application and we work closely with them to deliver a mould that meets their exact requirements.

Our moulds gallery contains examples of some of the applications that we have designed and manufactured moulds for. This includes both our standard steel mould range and bespoke steel moulds.
