Visitors to Aldermans may have seen our quirky clock, which runs backwards and bears the caption “For the job you wanted yesterday.” We always strive to respond quickly to customer emergencies, specialising in swift service on laser-cut metal parts.
Westcountry Group, a specialist gate automation company based in Plymouth, required laser-cut adjustment plates to ensure the smooth operation and durability of their gates. Perfect alignment is essential for gates to open and close efficiently, preventing premature wear and tear. This is achieved using specialist ironmongery made from strong metal plates, which allows hinge adjustments to ensure gates meet at the correct angle. Depending on the gate style, up to ten adjusters may be needed per gate.
With over fifteen years of experience providing gate design, manufacture, installation, and maintenance services across the South West, Westcountry Group also supplies security fencing. When they urgently needed precision-cut metal plates, they turned to Aldermans for a fast and reliable solution.
Aldermans specialises in rapid laser cutting services and was well-equipped to meet the tight deadline. The task involved manufacturing two flat laser-cut metal parts, which were straightforward to produce using one of Aldermans’ CNC laser cutting machines.
To ensure accuracy, Aldermans also provided design support, creating production drawings based on the customer’s specifications. Following a factory visit from a Westcountry Group sales support team member, Aldermans was able to provide a quote within hours, leading to a swift purchase order confirmation.
Using specialist software, the laser cutting machine was programmed quickly, ensuring maximum efficiency and optimised sheet material usage. This approach enabled a fast turnaround without compromising on quality.
Aldermans successfully delivered 130 precision-cut pieces within just 48 hours of receiving the purchase order, exceeding customer expectations.
Westcountry Group received their parts promptly, allowing them to continue their gate installations without delays. This project reinforced Aldermans’ reputation for swift, high-quality metal fabrication services, demonstrating their ability to respond rapidly to urgent customer requirements.
