Case Studies
Hillfoot’s long-established relationships with customers in the defence industry has enabled us to understand the complexity of the sector’s requirements and processes.
Our client, a major name within the defence sector, required a large quantity of forged wheels and axles supplied in a highly modified hardened alloy material.
We were approached to supply a number of metals for specialist component design and manufacture for a company specialising in high performance suspense systems for armoured and military vehicles.
Quality. Consistency. Excellence. Sustainability.
As a customer, we want you to know that you can depend on us for expert metallurgical advice, reliable stock and supplies, and consistently high quality products.
