At Kempston Ltd, our customers value us not only for our high-speed, cost-effective fibre laser cutting, but for the end-to-end fabrication services that turn flat sheet metal into fully finished components — including precision folding.
Folding transforms the flat sheet metal developments we’ve laser cut for you into three-dimensional components with shape, strength, and purpose.
Fast, accurate, and always on time.
Expertly folded components with precision.
Advanced press brake ensures consistency.
Complete end-to-end fabrication service.
We can precision fold chassis, frames, cabinets, brackets, and many other components — all to match the functional and aesthetic requirements of your original drawings or design.
Our precision metal folding service: the benefits
Like every service we offer, our folding operation is powered by advanced, efficient technology designed to keep lead times short and costs low.
Our Amada multi-axis press brake handles even the largest and most complex jobs with absolute precision and repeatability.
Once a fold is made, we can weld joins in-house to ensure full structural integrity, progressing your parts seamlessly from folded form to finished product.
We work with both ferrous (mild steel, stainless steel) and non-ferrous metals (aluminium, brass, copper, Zintec), allowing us to move your components from concept to completion quickly and cost-effectively — all from a single supplier.
We are are proud to hold the following ISO Certifications
What You Gain:
Logistical savings – No need to manage multiple suppliers or deliveries. Your components are laser cut, folded, and finished in one place, and delivered using our own vehicle.
Zero downtime – Our press brake’s rapid multi-setup capability means production begins almost immediately after your order is received.
Complex jobs made simple – The multi-axis operation of our Amada press brake enables even intricate folding tasks to be completed quickly, accurately, and right first time.
High throughput – With our press brakes, we can handle sheets up to 3 metres long and of varying thicknesses, completing even large-scale jobs with short lead times.
Skilled operators, zero waste – Our team of press brake operators are trained to a very high standard, ensuring every fold is precise, every product is right first time, and material waste is minimised.
Adding Value Before and After
As a full-service sheet metal fabrication business, precision folding is just one of the ways we add value.
After folding, we can:
- Weld your components for structural strength
- Powder coat them for durability and protection
- Assemble them into final form — all in-house, all from one location
That means one supplier, one point of contact, and complete control over quality, cost, and timelines.
We Deliver — In Every Sense
When we say we deliver, we mean more than producing quality results every time (though we do).
We also ensure your finished components reach you reliably, efficiently, and economically, using our own low-emission delivery vehicle.From our Bedford location, we’re perfectly positioned to supply customers nationwide — without the cost or delay of external couriers.
Prefer to collect your components yourself? No problem — we’re open six days a week to make that easy.
