Looking for a laser cutting and fabrication supplier for a Manchester business? Kaizen Engineering is a sub-contract manufacturer in Shaw, Oldham, just off the M62 on the north-east side of Greater Manchester. We laser cut, fold, fabricate and assemble steel, stainless and aluminium parts for manufacturers of every size, from a single prototype to scheduled production runs. Send your drawings to sales@kaizen-eng.com and we’ll come back to you with a same-day quote.
Buying parts from a supplier on your doorstep makes life easier. You can call in to talk a job through, collect urgent parts yourself, or have us deliver them, and there’s no waiting on a courier from the other end of the country. Whether your business is in Manchester city centre, Trafford Park, Salford, Stockport, Bury, Rochdale, Ashton-under-Lyne or here in Oldham, our works on Thomas Street in Shaw is a short drive away.
We work with large manufacturers that need repeat, just-in-time supply and with small local firms that need one part made right first time. Both get the same attention and the same direct line to the people cutting the metal.
Our cutting shop is built around an 8kW Trumpf fibre laser, backed by a Trumpf CO2 laser for thicker plate. Between them we have more than 350 hours of cutting capacity every week, which helps us keep lead times short when your schedule changes.
We hold common grades in stock, including S275 and S355 carbon steel, wear plate and 304 and 316 stainless, so many jobs can start straight away. Where the job allows, we can turn parts round for same-day or next-day delivery. Read more about our laser cutting service.
Most Manchester buyers don’t just want flat profiles. Managing a laser cutter, a folder and a fabricator separately means more paperwork, more transport and more chances for something to go wrong between them. At Kaizen, parts move from one department to the next under the same roof:
One supplier, one order and one point of contact, from the first cut to the finished assembly.
Typical work includes brackets, base plates and gussets, machine guards and enclosures, folded panels and covers, cabinets, frames and sub-assemblies, and replacement wear parts. If it starts life as sheet or plate and needs cutting, folding or welding, send it over and we’ll tell you straight away whether it’s a job for us.
To get an accurate price first time, it helps to send:
