Manufacturing capabilities
CNC machining, sheet metal fabrication, welding, finishing and assembly under one roof, so your parts move between processes in hours instead of weeks.
Machining · ±0.005 mm
Our CNC machining centres and lathes run three shifts, five days a week. Lights-out cells with pallet changers keep repeat parts moving...
Machining · complex geometry
Simultaneous 5-axis machining lets us reach every face of a complex part in one setup. Fewer setups mean better feature-to-feature accuracy and...
Fabrication · laser & bending
From flat laser-cut blanks to fully formed enclosures, our sheet metal line handles prototypes and production on the same equipment, so nothing...
Fabrication · MIG, TIG & robotic
Certified welders and robotic cells produce frames, skids and structural weldments to qualified procedures, with fixtures designed in-house for repeatable accuracy. How...
Finishing · in-house
Keeping finishing in-house removes the most common cause of late deliveries: waiting on outside processors. Every finish is checked for thickness and...
Assembly · ready to install
We assemble machined and fabricated parts with bought-in components, test them and deliver kits to your line, so your team builds products...
Live production tracking
Follow your parts through machining, finishing and inspection in the customer portal. You see the same schedule our production planners see, and you hear from us the moment anything moves.
Northfield in numbers
From CAD to delivery
The same clear path for a single prototype or a five-year production contract.
Upload STEP, IGES or PDF drawings with quantities, material and finish. NDAs signed on request.
A costed quote within 24 hours, with design notes that can lower your price.
We prove the process on a first article, then run your batch on scheduled capacity.
Every lot is inspected to drawing and shipped with reports and material certificates.
Quality you can measure
Our climate-controlled quality lab checks parts against your drawing on coordinate measuring machines, optical comparators and surface testers. Every critical feature is recorded, and the report ships with your parts.
Projects & case studies
How engineering teams use Northfield to cut unit cost, shorten lead times and bring production closer to home.
Medical devices · 38% lower cost
A one-setup 5-axis process cut the cost of a critical titanium housing by 38%.
Automotive & EV · 14 → 3 weeks
Moving a welded battery tray from overseas cut lead time from 14 weeks to 3.
Energy · zero field failures
Fully traceable duplex valve bodies, pressure tested and delivered on time for three years.
Machine park
Forty-eight CNC machines plus laser, press brake, welding and finishing lines, all on a planned maintenance schedule.
Milling · 18 machines
Eighteen high-speed VMCs with pallet changers for lights-out production.
Turning · 12 machines
Bar-fed mill-turn lathes that finish turned and milled features in one cycle.
Sheet metal · 3 machines
Automated fiber lasers cutting steel, stainless and aluminium up to 25 mm.
Sheet metal · 5 machines
CNC press brakes with angle measurement for accurate, repeatable bends.
What engineers say
Northfield's DFM notes took 30% out of our housing cost before a single chip was cut. Two years in, we have not had one late delivery.
First articles arrive with a full CMM report and the production parts match them every time. That consistency is rare.
We moved three assemblies from overseas to Northfield and cut our lead time from 14 weeks to 3. The project engineer is an extension of our team.
Engineering insights
