Wire Forms & Assemblies
Wire forming, bending and assembly is a major part of our business. If something can be made out of wire, we’re the people to make it.
If you have a 2D or 3D wire form that involves twists, turns, spirals, protrusions, indentations or just plain bends, we have both the expertise and the state-of-the-art automation to provide exactly what you need.
We also have the facility to design and manufacture tools, jigs, and gauges in-house, which means that not only can we test designs for feasibility before manufacture, but it also greatly reduces the lead time compared to outsourcing.

Assemblies
Assemblies
William Hughes can simplify inventory and streamline manufacturing processes by supplying assemblies of metal components, for example, metal pressed parts with riveted threaded inserts. This provides significant savings in assembly costs through simplification of the supply chain and a reduced number of in-house operations.
Overmoulding
Overmoulding
Overmoulding for wire parts and assemblies is a versatile process, often dispensing with the need for metal retaining clips and allowing for the incorporation of such items as connectors and cabling.
