SHEDA is developing an integrated manufacturing system covering the major processes required for professional hand tool production.
By integrating key manufacturing processes, we are able to maintain better control over quality, cost, production efficiency, consistency, and lead time.
This manufacturing structure also gives us greater flexibility to respond to different product specifications, order volumes, and customer requirements.
Steel is selected, verified and cut to size before any forming begins.
Heated blanks are formed under press to build the grain structure the tool depends on.
Controlled heating and quenching set the hardness and toughness of each part.
Drive profiles, ring ends and mechanism seats are cut to dimensional tolerance.
Surfaces are levelled and refined ahead of plating.
Plating and finishing give corrosion resistance and the final appearance.
Ratchet mechanisms and multi-part tools are built up and checked for function.
Dimensions, hardness, torque and finish are checked against specification.
Products are marked, packed and labelled to the customer brand requirement.

Quality inspection is one of the nine processes SHEDA is bringing together in-house. Integrating those processes is what gives us better control over quality, consistency and lead time.
Inspection is part of how we work with customers across a programme, from product evaluation and engineering discussion through tooling, sampling, production, inspection and final delivery. Tell us what your market or your own quality system requires and we will confirm what we can support.
Send us your drawings, specifications or sample requirements and our engineering team will come back to you with a manufacturing proposal.
