Paul Fabrications Ltd

Strength lies upon firm foundations

“The company has changed dramatically since moving to the new facility, with the introduction of improved manufacturing processes, and customer and product-focused work groups. These step changes were a fundamental factor in Meggitt placing their contract."

Ingard Sagstad, Managing Director
