Kitting, sub-assembly, metalwork assembly, packing and palletising, done to your work instruction at our factory in Bideford, Devon, and delivered across the UK.
Last reviewed 31 October 2026
Contract packing is a large part of what we do every week. Customers send us their parts and products, and we assemble them, pack them in packaging we make ourselves, palletise and label them, and deliver them to their line, their warehouse or their customer. Because the crates, pallets, inserts and corner packs are made on the same site, there is no second supplier in the chain and changes happen quickly. All of it runs under our ISO 9001 system, with written work instructions and checks at each stage.
