A prime example of such a development is the use of Hot Isostatically Pressed (HIP) manifolds for high pressure oil and gas process systems. Clients to whom we have supplied fabricated HIP components have enjoyed significantly reduced costs. For these items, our scope of supply has included full design and fabrication responsibilities, in addition to materials supply.

Our Research and Development programmes have included the company's technicians working in conjunction with specialist departments of universities and major technical institutes, as well as with many of our materials suppliers and major customers. This team-based approach to Research and Development ensures that we continue to lead the market in the provision of technically advanced products.
