About Us
An award-winning custom metal fabrication company.
J Reeves Engineering is a privately-owned family-run business, established in 1976, operating from our 22,000 sq ft facility in Braintree, Essex.
We have been involved in projects initiated by a wide range of clients over the years, always providing the same professional level of service whoever the customer. From artists, councils and designers to local businesses, multinational corporations, and hopefully you too.
We can manufacture from DWG, DXF and CNC files or alternatively, we can use a sketch you have composed and translate this ourselves onto Solidworks. If you have an idea and are not sure how to complete it, our highly skilled staff can help create a 3D free-hand drawing, or computer-generated image.
If you want to know more about our products and services or find out specifically how we can help you, you can contact us in a number of ways, either through e-mail, telephone, fax or in person.
We are able to offer a 24-hour service (dependent on the number and size of your requirement).
We are able to mass-produce certain items, or create one-off designs, including prototypes or pre-production runs. The materials we are able to cut and shape can be used to create company signs and logos, marketing products, features for offices or your own home.
