Defence and Security Equipment International (DSEI), which this year runs from 12-15 September at the London ExCeL exhibition centre in Docklands, is regarded as the leading UK event where customers and suppliers from the global defence and security industry bi-annually come together to promote the latest innovations and share knowledge.
At DSEI, Express Engineering will be showcasing its extensive range of high quality manufacturing services, which are provided to major aerospace and defence OEMs as well as manufacturing companies in other industrial sectors needing complex, high performance metallic parts, such as nuclear, oil and gas, power generation, and marine markets.
Express Engineering has over 40 years of proven engineering expertise and capabilities in producing close tolerance, precision machined, metal parts up to 6m long and 2m in diameter, manufactured from castings, bar stock, forgings or hipped forgings. The company specialises in manufacturing large, complex geometry components, which are typically machined from a heat resistant or high performance ‘exotic’ material such as: nickel super alloys; duplex and super duplex; cobalt, titanium and nickel-chromium-based Inconel super alloys. One off or multiple parts, integrated kits and complete assemblies are supplied in small to medium batches on a repeat project or continuous schedule demand basis.
Major investment of over £7.5 million in the last five years has seen the Express Engineering facilities, located in the Team Valley industrial estate, Gateshead, almost double to over 100,000ft2. Express Engineering has six production units, with dedicated specialist facilities operating CNC equipment, supported by a wealth of in-house engineering expertise. CAD/ CAM systems, along with 3D offline CMM inspection software, streamline the new product integration (NPI) process within the organisation. In addition the assembly, test and cleanroom facilities provide a “one stop shop” solution for clients.
The broad spectrum of specialist manufacturing equipment and facilities includes: 2-5 axis conventional and CNC milling/boring/turning machines and CNC multi-tasking centres; specialist welding capabilities, such as weld overlay (hard facing/cladding) and butt welding; EDM spark and wire erosion machines; surface and cylindrical grinders; aerospace approved wash plant and clean room assembly facilities; inspection and non-destructive examination equipment, including MP, LPI and UT, plus hydraulic and gas pressure-testing rigs.
All of Express Engineering’s six production facilities operate according to BSI accredited ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 and hold BSI EN 9100:2009 and AS9100 Rev C quality standard certifications. The company is ADS-ASCS accredited as a quality assured supplier.
