Engineering and manufacturing from drawing, component or problem
Engineering design, fabrication and machining from Norfolk, with wider UK manufacturing routes for injection moulding, metal pressing, tooling, specialist turning and product assembly when the job needs them.

Start with what you have: a requirement, drawing, sample, photograph or existing part. You do not need to decide the manufacturing process before you contact us.
One engineering contact. More ways to make the part.
Van Driel combines its own engineering and metalworking capability with the wider group and established UK manufacturing partners. Partner processes are identified clearly and coordinated as part of the agreed manufacturing route.
Specialist manufacturing
- Plastic injection moulding and insert moulding
- Precision metal pressing
- Tool making, product design and tooling design
- CNC and multi-spindle turning
- Electromechanical and complete product assembly
- Coil winding, PCB manufacture and population, and specialist pinning
- Application-specific automated testing equipment
Three practical ways in
You can arrive with an unresolved engineering problem, a drawing ready to manufacture, or work that needs to be surveyed and installed on site.
We define the right route and use only the stages your job needs.
- Problem review
- CAD & drawings
- Design for manufacture
- Reverse engineering
- Metal manufacture
- Machining & turning
- Moulding & pressing
- Tooling & assembly
- Site survey
- Installation
- Engineering modification
- UK-wide support
Practical engineering across demanding applications
We work on parts, assemblies and installed steelwork where fit, function and repeatability matter. The common requirement is practical engineering that can be manufactured and delivered.
- Public transport: wheelchair access ramps and boarding equipment
- Stainless steel: staircases, balustrades and architectural metalwork
- Motorsport and automotive: racing chassis and prototype structures
- Broadcast, film and theatre: set metalwork, drums and folding assemblies
- Construction and architectural: decorative balustrades, steel and glass
- Heritage: replacement metalwork to conservation requirements

Send the drawing, part or problem
Upload a drawing, describe the requirement or tell us what has failed. An engineer will review it and work out the appropriate manufacturing route before we quote.
