Chasestead has manufactured parts for most major vehicle manufacturers including Land Rover, Ford, VW, GM, BMW, Jaguar, Volvo, Mazda, Nissan, Honda, Bentley and Rolls Royce. We can take your project from initial receipt of your CAD to first off components in less than 10 weeks.

Using our engineering skills and machinery we are able to make the most intricate facades and rain screens for the construction industry. We work with your designers using the latest CAD software to model your designs so that you can visualise them fully before we put them into manufacture. We have experience of working with most materials and creation of different finishes, with the expertise to take on projects such as cladding and perforated screens, balustrades and handrails, balconies, canopies, secondary roof steelwork and architectural sheet metalwork.
