Gold & Wassall Hinges Capabilities

In-house toolroom

Our in-house toolroom enables us to make specific tools for your hinge. Therefore, even the most difficult elements to a bespoke hinge can be achieved, with a tool made especially for the job in hand. We also offer subcontracting for toolmaking and wire eroding. If this is something you might be interested in, please contact us.

With a press capacity of up to 160 tons, Gold & Wassall have the capacity to produce presswork of all shapes and sizes. We offer a manufacturing service for specialist presswork, for all materials. Single operation and multi-stage tooling is planned and manufactured in our own toolroom.
