With over 40 years manufacturing experience Ardor are committed to

the long term future of manufacturing in the UK.

Ardor recognises that its staff are fundamental to its success and has

adopted a strategic, professional approach to staff development

providing ongoing training to enable them to reach their full potential,

which in turn helps the company to attract and retain high-calibre staff

with the skills and competencies necessary to deliver the company

objectives and targets.

Research and Development

We have perfected custom manufacturing techniques for the precision machining of

bespoke annular thin-walled rings. Our processes ensure circularity is retained, whilst

maintaining tight tolerances with absolute concentricity and cylindricity.

These components are manufactured from exotic, volatile alloys that are notoriously

difficult to machine and control.

We have conducted extensive R & D in the

manufacture and machining of Bi-Metallic rings,

enabling a soft substrate to be Laser Weld overlaid with

a harder and more wear resistant material.

This process is Lloyds certified to API 6A, NORSOK,

NACE & ASME IX.
