North-East engineering firm plans expansion and recruitment drive after investment

North-East engineering firm ExMesh Engineering has announced that it is set for significant expansion this year following a £500,000 investment.

As one of the UK’s leading metal fabrication companies, ExMesh Engineering will embark on a recruitment drive later this year, as it introduces an extensive range of new services to meet the growing demands of its customers.

As a division of The Expanded Metal Company, a trusted name in metal solutions since 1889, ExMesh Engineering will build on its over a century of heritage with a fresh focus on innovation and growth.

Renowned for its high-quality expanded metal perimeter fencing, the Hartlepool-based firm will now offer complete metal fabrication solutions – it can fabricate anything from metal, from intricate custom designs to large-scale production runs.

Ryan Pinder, ExMesh operations manager and head of CI, said: “To support our bold new direction, we have made substantial investments in state-of-the-art machinery, which will enable us to deliver unparalleled precision, flexibility, and capacity in all metal fabrication.”

“New services include a top-of-the-line laser cutter which can cut carbon steel, mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminium with extreme accuracy and efficiency, perfect for complex and large-scale projects.

“The advanced press brake allows us to handle intricate metal bending and folding tasks, ensuring we can meet even the most demanding specifications alongside our award-winning cobot welding system, which offers consistent, high-quality welding, enabling us to handle projects requiring precision and repeatability at scale.

“We are very proud to be investing and building on the skill and heritage that is grounded in Teesside.”

With its expert design team, ExMesh Engineering will support its numerous clients across different sectors, including construction, architectural, industrial, and retail, from the initial concept to the final delivery.

Philip Astley, managing director of The Expanded Metal Company, added: “This new chapter marks a significant milestone in the evolution of ExMesh Engineering and our group.

“We are excited to offer our customers more than ever, whether they need security solutions or custom metal fabrications.”
