Design for manufacture reviews a part before it is made so it costs less and works better. PRV's DFM approach is valued by customers across many industries. PRV Engineering has been trading from Pontypool, South Wales since 1986 and now runs a well equipped 54,000 sq ft facility.
PRV manufactures from its own designs, from customer drawings and specifications, or from OEM samples. Where needed, the engineering team produce complete drawings and stress analysis calculations. A design for manufacture approach and a manufacturing development service help improve existing products and processes, raising durability and bringing purchase costs down. In short, if you want to make it better, PRV can help.
The cheapest time to change a design is before it's made. A manufacturing partner involved early can spot features that drive cost, suggest alternative materials and simplify assembly. That's design for manufacture, and it often saves far more than any price negotiation ever could.
PRV serves a broad spread of industries including defence, medium to high voltage switchgear, rail, high performance automotive, oil and gas, pharmaceutical, petrochemical, food processing, aerospace, actuation, power generation, mechanical handling and valves. Whatever the sector, the standard is the same.
Materials range from everyday mild steels through to stainless, aluminium, copper and exotics such as Monel, Inconel, Hastelloy and titanium. PRV caters for one-offs, rapid prototypes and large batch production, and can hold stock for customers to call off in line with Kanban, VMI, consignment and JIT arrangements.
Every order follows a controlled route. Drawings are reviewed, materials are sourced with certification, work is planned across the shop floor and parts are inspected before dispatch. Customers get one contact who knows the job from quote to delivery.
PRV calls its approach One Answer, Many Solutions. Machining, waterjet cutting, deep hole drilling, fabrication, painting, powder coating, plating, installation and maintenance all sit under one roof, so customers deal with one company and raise one purchase order. Quality is controlled to BS EN ISO 9001:2015, BS EN 1090 EXC3, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001.
