Company Overview
Francis Birketts is a ‘one-stop shop’ precision engineering company. The company specialises in the casting of Copper based alloys, but also has extensive casting facilities for Aluminium based alloys. All casting is supported by extensive CNC and conventional machining facilities, assembly and testing. One of FWB’s key technologies is the manufacture of self lubricating bearings, whether to our customers’ own specification, or to our own superior Franberlube™ properties.
At the forefront of the company's strategy is the continued investment in modern casting plant and machinery. This has given it a unique market position as there is no other foundry offering such a range of casting processes allied to finishing capability. The company currently employs circa. 100 people, has ISO 9001:2000 certification and is seeking approval to 14000 and 18000 standards in the near future.
