Sub Contract manufacturing
Whether you need a one-off prototype, small batch production, or additional machining capacity, T.E.D Solutions can support your manufacturing requirements through a trusted network of experienced subcontract partners.
With an extensive network of specialist machine shops across the UK, we can source the right manufacturing solution for your project—whether it involves 3-axis, 5-axis, mill-turn, turning, grinding, or complex precision machining.
Unlike a traditional subcontract supplier, we don't simply pass work on. We work closely with both you and our manufacturing partners to ensure the correct processes, tooling, programming, and quality requirements are understood from the outset, helping to reduce lead times, eliminate costly mistakes, and deliver parts right first time.
Whether you're looking for overflow capacity, prototype development, production machining, or complete turnkey manufacturing, we provide a single point of contact from enquiry through to delivery.
Our Subcontract Services Include
Prototype & one-off components
Small and medium batch production
Precision CNC milling & turning
5-axis machining
Mill-turn machining
Grinding and finishing operations
Fixture manufacture
Turnkey manufacturing solutions
