About Constant Engineering

A little about us

Constant Engineering, based at Oldham in Greater Manchester, was established by Harry and Richard Garlick, father and son, to meet the demand of sheet metal supply. After seeing a niche in the market Richard decided to utilise off-cuts of the metal sheets as kick-plates and finger plates and sell to existing customers and local businesses. From there Constant Engineering released its first brochure of architectural ironmongery products in 1977, and went on a journey to becoming one of the largest manufacturers of products to the trade, building, commercial and industrial sectors to-date.

With over 45 years experience you can be guaranteed a wealth of experience in producing metal parts to customer specifications. We’ve remained as one of the largest architectural ironmongery manufacturers in the UK due our ability to adapt to customer demands, business trends and produce tailored parts on short turn-around. We’re proud to remain as a family owned and run British manufacturing company opposed to an importer/distributor.

Housing the latest CNC machinery we have the ability to produce high volumes to close tolerances. We also offer a quick-plate, next day turn-around service on many of our products too. You’ll find the majority of door protection plates installed on doors and walls of hospitals, schools, nursing homes, restaurants, retail outlets and offices will be manufactured by us at Constant.
