Experience you can rely on
Built on Trust: Partnerships With Global Brands
Founded in 1957, Aldridge Fabrications (AF) grew from a small Aldridge workshop to a multi-site operation.
Following a management buyout in the 1980s and generational leadership since 2015, the company has continued to evolve while staying true to its founding values: craftsmanship, reliability, and customer focus.
As a family-run business, our values have always been built on craftsmanship, reliability, and long-term relationships.
Over the decades, leadership has passed across generations, ensuring continuity in standards while adapting to the needs of modern industry.
Today, we remain committed to the same principle that started it all: engineering done right.

It’s this proactive approach that has earned us long-standing trust from customers across industries.
