‘WHT offers a complete solution for forged components from initial concept where our Engineers can assist with component design and simulation, through to post forge processing, where we can proof or finish machine parts in-house, if required. Using the most up to date CAD & simulation software packages, we can optimise material usage and ensure that die designs and parts are right first time’ says Sales and Marketing Manager Phil Hobley.

From its base in the West Midlands, W H Tildesley has been serving the oil & gas market for many years and is particularly competitive on small and medium quantity runs.

WHT also produces higher quantity runs up to several thousand. For some customers we hold stock at our site which is then called off to schedule or order’ continues Phil Hobley.
