Metalcra Engineering are confident in exploring new manufacturing techniques and don’t shy away from complex or technical problems. A company forte is in product development which has seen the emergence of light and heavy engineering products that effec vely hold a niche market na on-wide. Proof of this is the eleven plas c, eight rubber, and seventeen aluminium privately owned dies/moulds. Metalcra Engineering believe that co-opera on between local compe tors have benefits that strongly outweigh tradi onal territorial and compe ve a tudes. We look to build and maintain solid rela ons in all direc ons of the supply network.
