British manufacturer, operating in the Midlands, RSD Pressings Ltd demanded attention at the latest subcontract manufacturing show, Subcon this summer. Its vibrant blue and orange company brand colours stood out among the like-minded manufacturing suppliers in attendance. RSD presented its diverse metal pressings and sheet metal solutions to the show’s visitors. The UK’s biggest show for subcontract manufacturing presented RSD with valuable conversations throughout the show and beyond. The Team met with existing OEMs, tier suppliers, stakeholders and many new customers who RSD are now in the early stages of working in partnership with.
With a heritage of over four decades in UK manufacturing, RSD showcased its offering with its portfolio of presses ranging from 50-400 tonnes, laser cutting capabilities, roll-forming, welding and fabrication offerings. RSD’s sample products at the show presented the quality accredited and precision produced by RSD for its tier suppliers, including but not exclusive to JLR, Nissan, Aga Rangemaster, Brompton Bicycles, Rhino products and ITW Construction products. RSD’s expertise goes beyond its heritage of working for the stringent automotive industry and now takes this distinguished reputation into wider markets in UK manufacturing within industries such as defence, construction, rail, yellow goods, aerospace and many more.
Carl Jones, RSD Sales Manager, remarked, “The exhibition reinforced the continued demand for UK manufacturing expertise, particularly in sectors where quality, responsiveness and supply chain security are critical. Defence and EV infrastructure stood out as key growth areas, but the emergence of opportunities from niche markets demonstrated the versatility of RSD’s offering and the potential for future expansion.”
RSD’s purpose-built facility spanning 45,000ft2 not only houses the impressive portfolio of machinery that enables the wide capabilities for RSD within the sector, but also a highly skilled team of managers and engineers that contribute to a successful partnership. From prototype to medium to high volume, RSD can take your manufacturing needs from drawing to delivery efficiently.
RSD Pressings Ltd will be exhibiting again at Subcon 2027, where the show will be celebrating its 50th anniversary, and RSD hope to engage with more manufacturers within the UK manufacturing sector to further thrive within and support this industry.
