Alderman Tooling
We're one of the South West's leading sheet metal fabricators. We've been in business for over 50 years and specialise in the contract manufacturing of metal parts and assemblies. We're working hard to serve our customers, keep our team safe and manage material supplies. With quick turnaround, experienced operators and in-house designers at our Plymouth factory, our comprehensive CNC laser cutting service is truly a 'cut-above'.

As custom metal fabricators we design and create all sorts of metal parts, structures and assemblies for companies across the UK. If it can be made in metal, we can make it! We've invested in the latest CNC technology at our Plymouth factory so we can offer a huge range of CNC machining services in-house, including CNC turning, milling, laser cutting and punching.
Services
Established in 1969 we're one of the South West's leading metal fabrication experts. We specialise in sheet metal fabrication and fabricated steel products, underpinned by 50 years' experience in tool making, precision engineering and press work. As sub-contract metalwork engineers, we have a vast suite of metal fabrication machinery at our Plymouth factory - so we can truly offer a one-stop shop for metal assemblies.
Having a Civil Engineering Degree from Bristol I was poached from my previous role in 1998 to become a Project Manager for the retail accounts which Aldermans serviced, namely Dorothy Perkins, Burton Menswear and Evans. I quickly got familiar with the workings of the business and set about improving the HR and H&S procedures and the then 70 strong workforce.
Aldermans are experienced metal fabricators, designing and creating all kinds of bespoke metal parts, structures and assemblies at our Plymouth factory, for clients across the UK. With a wide array of technologies in-house, we offer one of the most comprehensive, end-to-end metal fabrication facilities in the South West.
Our dedicated team is one of our greatest strengths, and many of our staff have been with us for ten years or more. We also provide opportunities for staff to learn and develop new skills in a friendly, supportive environment.

We are multi award winners for our commitment to apprenticeships, training and manufacturing excellence, including the prestigious Lloyds Bank National Business Award for Employer of the Year 2017 and Herald Manufacturer of the Year 2018.We've assembled an amazing team here Aldermans - and now we have an opportunity for you to be part of it.
Because of the nature of our work - all bespoke manufacturing - strong processes are absolutely key to our business performance. As a result, we're proud of our triple certification, to EN ISO 9001:2015 (quality), ISO 14001:2015 (environmental) and ISO 45001:2018 (health & safety) management standards.

€śThank you so much for responding to our urgent request so quickly. From our enquiry mid-morning on Friday, the two bespoke parts were with us on Tuesday. They fitted perfectly, so we could fulfil our customer’s order on time. Super service, thank you.”

Great customer service from a lovely lady called Karen. A very helpful company happy to discuss what I needed. Even though my project was of no significant value they were only too happy to help. The end result is fantastic and I'd recommend this company to anyone. A very happy customer and a VERY happy horse! Thank you so much.

On behalf of Tamerton Foliot Football Club Under 15s we would like to thank Karen Friendship and Aldermans for their very kind contribution to our club. This has enabled us to provide 15 new tracksuit tops for each player to wear before and after games, which shows great togetherness and team commitment.
Once again thankyou Aldermans.
Here are some pictures from our presentation evening.
After a successful season and finishing 4th in the top league we are looking forward to a well earned rest before we start a new challenge for next season.
From everybody associated with Tamerton Foliot Football

I approached Alderman Tooling to produce casing for a new product we are developing. Their helpfulness, expertise and design input has been invaluable.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

Brilliant business to deal with!!!
I have been dealing with Paul so far and it's brilliant service considering we are only a small company making a small order! Paul makes us feel just as important as the bigger businesses probably making orders of more then we make In a lifetime !
everything that was made is spot on aswell better then we could of imagined and paul added his touch of design on the product making it even better then we had hoped for !
I hope I'll have the privilege of dealing with this business in the future :)
Thanks
