Stainless Steel Products created by DSM Industrial Engineering

1992

David Hallam purchased the company from Bernard Dolby on his retirement. Dave had already been working for the company for 25 years after starting as an apprentice two years after it opened. With Dave’s influence the company moved into the laboratory sector supplying 316 grade stainless products to commercial and educational customers.

Development and Manufacturing of Stainless Steel Products

2008

Dave retired and passed control and ownership to his son-in-law Michael and his business partner Gareth Davies who have grown the business and developed the manufacturing facility, stretching the reach of the company into stainless extraction systems, healthcare products for hospitals, dental practices and veterinary surgeries, and high end worktops for domestic homes.

Present Day

After an extensive period of modernisation, the company now operates at the cutting edge of stainless steel fabrication with CNC machinery and CAD design, whilst still maintaining many of the traditional techniques which ensure such a high finished product quality.
