With over 45 years’ experience in defence fabrication, WEC Fabrication delivers complete end-to-end solutions for military applications, from aircraft components to complex machinery and full defence infrastructure systems. Our extensive facilities include gantry and moving-column CNC milling machines capable of machining parts up to 30m, large flat-bed and tube lasers, high-definition plasma and waterjet cutting, press brakes, and CNC punching equipment. Supported by over 200 coded welders and multiple robotic MIG/TIG welding cells, we fabricate complex, high-integrity structures to the most exacting defence standards. From design and prototyping to production, finishing, and on-site installation, we supply the entire defence line, ensuring projects are delivered safely, efficiently, and to specification.
Commitment to Quality & Compliance
Quality and compliance are at the core of everything we do. WEC Fabrication operates to ISO 9001:2015 and ASME Coded Welding, ensuring every military fabrication project meets the highest industry standards for safety, durability, and precision. We also work to ISO 3834, the international standard for quality requirements in fusion welding, which ensures all welding processes are consistently controlled, fully traceable, and meet rigorous safety and performance standards.
WEC Group Boosts Defence Fabrication with £10M Investment
To strengthen its position in defence fabrication, WEC Group has invested £10 million to build a 60,000 sq ft heavy machining and nuclear fabrication facility in Blackburn. This advanced site, one of Europe’s largest subcontract machining centres, supports critical sectors including defence, nuclear, offshore, and general engineering. Featuring six large CNC machining centres capable of handling components up to 30 metres long and 5 metres in diameter, the facility greatly expands WEC’s ability to deliver comprehensive turnkey solutions for complex defence fabrication projects.
