FAQs

Yes. Many of our projects are confidential, and we are experienced in working under non-disclosure agreements for clients managing sensitive, high-value designs.

Absolutely. While we don’t handle manufacturing directly, we provide complete post-project packs containing all the information, drawings, and files a manufacturer requires – reducing risk and ensuring smooth production.

Yes. We work on everything from small component detailing through to large-scale multi-module production machinery.

We have significant experience in print and packaging machinery, but also work with oil & gas, steelworks, plastics, conveyor systems, and more.

Testimonials

“I have been using Stephen and SPM Mechanical Engineering for many years now. Whenever I have a mechanical design requirement, Stephen is the first person I turn to. He is very intuitive and can execute the most demanding of designs with limited information. Some of the design work I ask Stephen to complete would be considered too demanding for many. He always delivers on time and within budget. Long may it continue.”

Matthew Clay, ContiTech, Senior Project Engineer

“We have manufactured and assembled lots of designs that SPM Mechanical Engineering have produced over the years. All designs are provided as manufacturing packs that include all of the files and information needed to successfully complete the project. Very rarely do we need to go back asking for additional information. Stephen’s attention to detail is second to none.”

Daniel Funnell, Director, Quality Machining Services (Grimsby) Limited.

“Steve at SPM Mechanical Engineering has helped us develop and extend our range of Digital Label Finishing and Converting Machinery alongside the team here at Spartantics. His experience of CO2 laser design and integration alongside his ability to design very complex automated machinery made him the perfect partner. He is incredibly intuitive and seems to understand our design requirements after a few brief conversations.”

Robert Crockett, Spartantics, Engineering Manager
