Laser Cutting & Metal Fabrication Services
Precision laser cutting, punching, and forming of metal components in-house
In-House Metal Cutting, Punching & Forming
APL provides a comprehensive in-house laser cutting and metal fabrication service, supporting the manufacture, refurbishment, and supply of precision-cut components for industrial, engineering, and construction applications.
By carrying out metal fabrication processes internally, we maintain full control over accuracy, quality, and lead times, ensuring consistent and repeatable results across both production and refurbishment programmes.
Metal Fabrication Capability
Our metal fabrication facility supports a wide range of cutting and forming processes, enabling the manufacture of both bespoke components and repeatable parts.
Our in-house capabilities include:
- Laser cutting of steel and aluminium sheet materials
- Plasma cutting for thicker plate and heavy-section components
- Turret punching for repetitive hole patterns, slots, and features
- Press brake folding for accurate forming and bending
- Guillotine cutting for precise sheet preparation
These processes allow us to support one-off requirements, small batch production, and ongoing manufacturing programmes.

Accuracy, Consistency & Efficiency
Our in-house metal fabrication capability provides:
- Accurate and repeatable cutting across production and refurbishment runs
- Consistent quality control from raw material through to finished component
- Reduced lead times compared to outsourced fabrication
- Improved coordination between cutting, forming, and manufacturing processes
- Flexibility for bespoke components and small-batch production
Applications
Our laser cutting and metal fabrication services are used across a wide range of applications, including:
- Steel components for formwork and falsework systems
- Brackets, plates, and connection details
- Bespoke fabricated metal components
- Replacement parts for refurbishment programmes
- Support for customer-supplied drawings and specifications
Integrated with Our Manufacturing Services
Laser cutting and metal fabrication form part of APL’s wider in-house manufacturing capability, working alongside CNC cutting, refurbishment, and assembly processes.
This allows us to deliver a coordinated solution, providing accurately cut and formed metal components ready for integration into larger assemblies or finished products.
