Engineers & Procurement

CSM has worked as a seamless extension of engineering and procurement teams for over 30 years, creating custom products for a range of commercial and industrial projects. 

Combining design expertise, quality materials, leading fabrication technologies, and expert craftsmanship, we proudly provide a single point of contact from design to delivery. We collaborate closely with teams to ensure plans and prototypes translate into cost-effective, compliant products that perfectly fulfil their intended function.

What We Do

We work closely with engineers and procurement professionals across projects of all shapes and sizes to design and fabricate custom metal solutions. 

You might have the perfect vision for a part or product, but the challenge often comes in bringing it to life to look and perform as intended. Throw in budget constraints, tight timescales and compliance considerations, and it can become a pressured cycle of trial and error.

CSM exists to bridge the gap and remove the risk. We work collaboratively with you from the design stage, offering advice on everything from manufacturability to material choice. We can create CAD drawings and prototypes for testing before handing over to in-house production.

Our ISO 9001:2015 and CHAS accredited team apply industry leading fabrication skills and technology to bring your design to life, ensuring it meets cost and compliance requirements and surpasses quality expectations.

Recommended materials for engineering projects

Steel

One of the most versatile and cost-effective metals on the market, steel is strong and durable. It’s used across a broad range of industrial, commercial and architectural projects, from warehouse equipment to structural building components. 

At CSM we specialise in all kinds of steel, from mild to stainless to galvanised, and can advise on the best type and finish for your application.

Aluminium

With a high strength to weight ratio, aluminium adds structural integrity without mass, making it perfect for a range of machinery parts and supporting structural elements in construction. 

Its corrosion-resistance makes it a great choice for harsh environments, while its flexibility and malleability means it can also be worked into more intricate or decorative parts. 

Brass, copper and bronze

These strong, durable, hardy metals are most regularly used across decorative and more specialist projects. Brass, copper and bronze are incredibly strong and corrosion-resistant, and offer style as well as substance with their deeper red-brown-gold colourings. 

These beautifully aesthetic metals can be polished or brushed, or paired with other finishes, to change up their look or enhance protection.

Case studies

Custom warehouse trolleys for AmazonPeople working in a warehouse using metal products.

Upon deciding a custom trolley would better fit their needs than an off-the-shelf solution, Amazon approached CSM with a bespoke brief. We designed and fabricated custom trolleys from aluminium that ticked the necessary boxes: forklift-compatible and easy to operate, with a 150kg load capacity.Our bespoke design has been rolled out in Amazon’s warehouses across the globe.
