WHITE GOODS COMPONENTS
AND APPLIANCE
PRESSINGS MANUFACTURER.
FDL supplies pressed metal components, stampings and welded assemblies for white goods applications, producing reliable parts that support high-volume, repeatable manufacturing. Our capability covers both visible and structural components, depending on the product requirement.
From prototype and tooling support through to production supply, we deliver components designed for consistency, fit and efficient assembly. Pressing, welding and assembly can be integrated to reduce handling and simplify manufacture.
Our Birmingham facility and press range of 25 to 800 tonnes handle the breadth of white goods pressing requirements – including mild steel and stainless steel structural components, decorative pressings and high-volume stampings for mass-market appliance production. We supply both large appliance manufacturers and their Tier 1 component suppliers.
With decades of experience in the white goods and appliance sector, FDL understands the need for tight tolerances, consistent surface quality and reliable delivery that appliance production programmes demand.
SUPPORTING WHITE GOODS
PROGRAMMES AND COMPONENTS
We manufacture high-precision metal pressings, complex stampings, and fully integrated mechanical assemblies for domestic appliance manufacturers and their Tier 1 supply chains. Supporting the consumer goods sector from initial prototyping and design validation through to high-volume, automated series supply, we deliver the production efficiency and scalability necessary to meet fast-moving market demands.
Our advanced manufacturing capabilities cover a wide range of applications, including robust structural chassis components, cosmetically critical door panels, and high-volume progressive die stampings. Working with mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminium, we combine our high-speed pressing lines with certified welding and complete sub-assembly services. This allows us to supply fully joined, multi-material, line-ready modules directly to your factory floor. Every component is backed by the rigorous surface quality controls and strict production consistency that appliance programmes demand, ensuring flawless finishes and seamless integration on your assembly line.
Structural chassis and inner frames
Load-bearing pressings that form the core structure of washing machines, tumble dryers and refrigerators – produced to tight tolerances with consistent surface quality for automated assembly.
Door panels and trim stampings
Outer door panels, inner liners and decorative trim pressings for domestic appliances – produced from mild steel and stainless steel with the surface quality and dimensional accuracy that appliance aesthetics require.
High-volume progressive die stampings
Small-to-medium pressed parts produced at volume on progressive die tooling for appliance assembly lines at consistent quality and competitive cost.
