Expromet Technologies Group expands UK manufacturing capabilities with acquisition of Tiverton Fabrications Limited.

[29 January 2026, Ilfracombe, Devon.] Expromet Technologies Group, a leading precision engineering group serving global OEMs, Tier 1s and associated supply chains, has announced the acquisition of Tiverton Fabrications Limited, a renowned and trusted provider of fabricated and welded solutions.

The acquisition further strengthens Expromet’s position as a turnkey manufacturing partner, broadening its UK footprint and enabling the group to offer fully integrated casting, machining, welding, fabrication and assembly across its sites.

Based in Tiverton, Devon, Tiverton Fabrications specialises in performance-critical welded solutions, including bespoke vessels, vacuum chambers, cylinders and tubes in a variety of materials including aluminium, stainless steel and speciality alloys, for customers across the UK and worldwide. By joining Expromet, Tiverton Fabrications strengthens its position within a robust and high-growth organisation, whilst supplementing customers’ access to advanced engineering processes across the Group.

Rob Guest, CEO of Expromet Technologies Group, commented:
“We are delighted to welcome Tiverton Fabrications to Expromet. This acquisition marks another important step in Expromet’s strategy to build a group of complementary precision engineering businesses. Tiverton Fabrications’ wealth of expertise across engineering processes is a natural extension of our existing casting, welding and machining capabilities, allowing us to offer customers a comprehensive manufacturing solution from concept to finished assembly.”

Noel Sugden, Production Director of Tiverton Fabrications added:
“Joining Expromet opens up new opportunities for our customers and our team, and we look forward to working with Expromet Group. Expromet’s investment, technical capability and global industry experience will allow us to expand our capabilities while continuing to deliver the high standards and personal service that our customers expect.”

Alongside Expromet’s other group companies Haworth Castings (sand and gravity die casting), Investacast (investment casting and pressure die casting), and Metaltech Precision (CNC machining and fabrication), Tiverton Fabrications will bolster the Group’s domestic manufacturing scope as part of a unique end-to-end offering. Customers benefit from a single, trusted source for design, casting, machining, fabrication and assembly, with the added flexibility of overseas sourcing through Expromet’s long-standing partners.

By integrating these complementary capabilities, Expromet helps customers de-risk and streamline their supply chains, improve traceability, and gain greater assurance of quality and delivery performance.

Rob Guest added:
“Our goal is to make it easier for customers to source complex, high-quality components and assemblies. With Tiverton Fabrications joining the Group, we can deliver a broader range of manufacturing processes under one roof, supported by global sourcing partnerships that provide resilience and efficiency to customers requiring performance critical components across demanding supply chains.”
