Flexible Engineering

Avon Fabrications is a specialist engineering company which designs and builds products from flexible materials. Core capabilities are the design, specification and building of sheet elastomer fabrications. To be able to deliver the standard of service expected by technically demanding customers we have equipment, materials knowledge, design expertise and people with a strong commitment to quality.

Avon Fabrications has unique knowledge and experience of elastomeric compounds and reinforcement materials. This means that authoritative advice can be offered to customers in order to ensure that the solution offered represents the best possible value in terms of performance, cost and longetivity. In many instances there is no substitute for our compounds and reinforced materials, and in these circumstances we work in partnership with customers to ensure best value in terms of performance and whole life costs. Laboratory testing and quality surveillance are an essential part of our commitment to customer needs.

Manufacturing

We have invested in the most up to date manufacturing equipment. A policy of continuous improvement means we are always looking for better performance at reduced cost which can be passed on to customers. We have available all methods of bonding and vulcanizing including autoclave and specialist presses for hot bonds. Working with customers has resulted in step changes in component life with all the benefits which can accrue from this – not just in terms of performance or replacement costs but better use of assets through reduced downtime, leading to increased returns on capital.
