ExMesh Engineering, a metal fabrication specialist based in Hartlepool, is set to expand significantly this year, following a £500,000 investment. The company plans to recruit new staff to help support the introduction of a broad range of new services, designed to meet the increasing demands of its customers.
As part of The Expanded Metal Company, a well-established name in metal solutions since 1889, ExMesh Engineering aims to leverage this strong heritage to fuel its growth. Known for its high-quality expanded metal perimeter fencing, the company will now offer complete metal fabrication solutions, ranging from custom designs to large-scale production runs.
Ryan Pinder, ExMesh’s operations manager and head of continuous improvement, explained, “To support our ambitious plans, we’ve invested heavily in advanced machinery, which will allow us to deliver greater precision, flexibility, and capacity in our metal fabrication processes. We’re introducing new services, including a cutting-edge laser cutter that can precisely cut carbon steel, mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminium. This technology is perfect for both complex and large-scale projects.”
He continued, “We’ve also added an advanced press brake, which helps us handle detailed metal bending and folding tasks. Alongside our award-winning cobot welding system, we can now manage projects that require high-quality, repeatable welding with extreme precision. This investment helps us build on the strong skills and heritage we have here in Teesside.”
ExMesh Engineering’s experienced design team will support a wide range of industries, including construction, architecture, industry, and retail. The company will assist customers from the initial concept all the way through to the final delivery.
Philip Astley, managing director of The Expanded Metal Company, added, “This is a major milestone in the evolution of ExMesh Engineering and our entire group. We’re excited to offer our customers even more services, whether they need security solutions or custom metal fabrications.”
