Colbree Engineering Group

The Colbree Engineering Group are specialist metalworkers offering a wide range of fabrication services, from prototyping to volume manufacturing. Since our foundation in 1985, we have remained committed to improving our range of services by investing into the very latest, state-of-the-art machinery, including CNC equipment. We started life as a sub-contract sheet metal shop, but our range of services has grown with customer demand. This policy of continuous investment has ensured that Colbree remains at the forefront of modern manufacturing technology. In addition to sheet metal work, we now have the facilities to carry out metal turning, milling, detail presswork and assembly. In fact, we have even undertaken complete project management for some customers.

But our capabilities don't stop there: we have also invested in equipment that we consider necessary to support our processes, such as cleaning and inspection facilities. Nearly 15 years ago, we introduced computerised production management systems that allow us to schedule our resources accurately and provide our customers with progress reports. This makes supply chain coordination significantly easier. It is our dedication to offering customers an excellent service that has led to numerous awards, and most importantly, lasting business partnerships. We will continue to extend our resources so that our customers have access to an even wider range of services.

With over 25 years in the industry, Colbree Engineering has the experience and expertise to offer advice on most fabrication processes, so give us a call today to discuss your requirements!
