Precision Engineering since 1922
Expertise
Over 90 years of trading history has taught Slater and Crabtree that expertise is much more than simply the infrastructure on which the business is based. In reality expertise rests in the quality of its people, the development of best practice, a safe manufacturing environment and a relentless focus on total quality management. In this manner the Company has generated trust and confidence across several industry sectors.
Quality
Assessed to ISO 9001:2008 (ASO 9100 pending), Slater and Crabtree prides itself on the level of quality control and assurance that it builds into every contract. From a customer drawing through to raw material purchase, and from CAD / CAM machining to final inspection, Slater and Crabtree has the capability to meet demanding customer expectations across a wide variety of industry standards.
Flexibility
Slater and Crabtree offers its customers a tailored approach to any given job through a combination of technical expertise and process flexibility. Specialising in smaller quantities, Slater and Crabtree is nevertheless capable of processing much larger volumes by exercising state-of- the-art supply chain management and industry-leading precision engineering skills. Our goal is the on-time delivery of quality products that are competitively priced.
A comprehensive capacity listing gives Slater and Crabtree the ability to manufacture components for a wide variety of trade sectors, in particular Aerospace, Automotive, Off-shore Oil and Gas, Nuclear, Medical, Power Generation, and Pharmaceutical. Customers range in size from SME’s to ‘Blue Chip’ multinationals.
