UK die casting has never been stronger, with a resurgent UK manufacturing sector driving demand for die castings across the country and beyond.
Leading the charge is Lupton & Place, a company that has been at the forefront of the European die casting industry for more than a century. Thanks to continuous investment in plant, training and personnel, Lupton & Place can offer a die casting UK service to suit your needs, no matter how specific or demanding your die casting task.
At Lupton & Place, we understand that the UK die casting industry is always changing and evolving, with new, more efficient casting methods and newly-developed alloys appearing at an incredible pace. Advances in finishing and machining are even more dramatic, as robotic systems begin to offer industry-leading CNC capabilities and greater precision and versatility than ever before, while the components required become more refined and more specific over time.
The only way for any die casting UK company to stay on top of the game is by constantly improving its facilities and staff, and this is exactly the approach taken by UK die casters Lupton & Place. Based in Burnley, we are proud of our facilities and staff, and work constantly to reinvest in them, making sure we have the best facilities of any die casting UK company, and ensuring our staff are the most skilled and qualified of any foundry staff in the UK!
One such example of our reinvestment strategy is the new robotic machining cell installed only last month in our Burnley site, which provides us with industry-leading capabilities in precision-engineering our castings after they have been ejected from their moulds. With the help of our new robotic CNC arms, even the most complex designs and patterns can be cut into a die-cast component, improving the capabilities of our business again by equipping us to finish any component in-house.
While other die casting companies in the UK may need to work alongside other companies to provide certain aspects of their services, such as machining and finishing, or specialist sand-core casting, Lupton & Place doesn’t have this disadvantage – we are able to handle any manufacturing request at our main site, and won’t need to delay your order or make it more expensive by shipping it out to other companies for finishing. Everything can be done right here at our Burnley foundry.
What Does It Take to Be the UK’s Best Die Casters?
It isn’t easy becoming one of Europe’s foremost die casters, and Lupton & Place have worked for more than a century to become an industry-leading specialist in our field. With constant investment in excellence, we make sure that our successes build upon one another to propel us further ahead of the competition, with evolving facilities and industry-leading expertise that are constantly updated and improved to stay abreast of new developments in the die casting industry. Paired with the latest and most effective plant and machinery, this drive to succeed and belief in investing in our success means Lupton & Place can provide service, quality and versatility that other die casters just can’t match!
Constant Investment in Excellence
The first key to Lupton & Place’s success as die casters is our constant investment in excellence – we are always looking for ways in which we can improve, monitoring developments in the die casting industry and researching better training, better casting methods and better techniques to ensure that we remain the industry gold standard for die casters in both the UK and Europe.
All of this requires considerable investment, and while other die casters may be more reluctant to invest their profits back into their staff, facilities and equipment, Lupton & Place realise that this is the key to our success, making sure that our first priority is always in investing and improving the company and its capabilities.
Evolving Facilities
Die casters operate in an industry which is constantly evolving, calling for the die casters’ facilities, plant and training to evolve in time or fall behind. Like many aspects of the manufacturing industry, many companies reach a sort of equilibrium, where they no longer invest in improving themselves and simply fall behind industry best practice until loss of custom forces them to invest again, beginning the cycle anew. While this might be standard practice for other die casters, it isn’t for Lupton & Place – we constantly improve our facilities to stay in line with the current industry gold standard, providing cutting-edge die casting services whenever you need them!
Industry-Leading Expertise
All the high-tech equipment in the world is worth nothing if the die casters operating it don’t have the training and skills to match. That’s why we make sure to invest in expertise, keeping our staff at the leading edge of European die casters, armed with the latest techniques and cutting-edge knowledge required to keep us at the forefront of the die casting industry.
