At full production speed, 700 strokes per minute leaves little room for compromise – this is the upper operating speed of the Bruderer BSTA 60-tonne progression presses at Brigham Pressings, and it provides a useful window into an area of manufacturing that often receives less attention than the finished products it ultimately supports. Every precision […]

Rising costs and continued pressure across international supply chains are putting the capabilities of UK manufacturers firmly in focus, as businesses look towards closer, technically capable suppliers to support production, resilience and future growth. New research from BDO’s Mid-Market Tracker shows that 46% of UK mid-sized businesses expect supply chain pressures alongside rising fuel and

When Vertical Aerospace’s VX4 took to the skies at Farnborough International Airshow, the historic flight carried particular significance for HT Brigham Pressings Compliance Director Anna Lavender Moore. For thousands of visitors gathered at Farnborough, the sight of an electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft performing a public transition flight offered a glimpse of aviation’s future.

A six-week tooling programme for a global dispensing systems manufacturer has demonstrated how Brigham Pressings is combining design-for-manufacture expertise, toolmaking and high-volume presswork to help customers improve products destined for demanding assembly environments. Brigham Pressings has completed a fast-track tooling and manufacturing project for a global supplier of hand-held chemical dispensing systems used across automotive

Time served engineers know that the quality of a finished component is often determined long before the first sheet of metal reaches the press.

The £62.9 billion of aircraft and engine orders announced during the first four days of the 2026 Farnborough International Airshow has reinforced confidence across the UK aerospace manufacturing secto

When manufacturers look for ways to reduce production costs, the conversation often centres on automation, material prices or supply chain efficiencies. Yet some of the greatest opportunities to improve quality, reduce waste and shorten lead times occur long before the first component reaches the press.

As the doors open at the Farnborough International Airshow this week, the global aerospace industry once again turns its attention to the technologies, partnerships and manufacturing capability that will shape the next generation of flight.

The successful first piloted flight of Vertical Aerospace’s third full-scale eVTOL prototype is more than another flight test milestone. For manufacturers across the aerospace supply chain, it signals that one of Britain’s most ambitious aviation programmes is steadily moving from engineering development towards industrial production. The latest prototype, G-EVTB, has joined Vertical Aerospace’s expanding flight

The debate surrounding the Government’s steel strategy has placed renewed attention on one of the biggest challenges facing British manufacturing: securing reliable, cost-effective supplies of raw materials while maintaining the competitiveness of UK production.
