At Gordon Products, we design and manufacture custom wire parts with precision, accuracy and efficiency. From prototypes to volume production, our UK-based facility combines CNC 2D and 3D wire forming with advanced fabrication and assembly techniques. Every wire component we produce meets strict standards for consistency, durability, and repeatability.
What Are Wire Parts?
Wire parts are metal components formed from wire into specific shapes or profiles. These elements can serve structural, mechanical, or decorative purposes across countless industries. Typical wire parts include clips, hooks, brackets, rings, guards, handles, baskets, and frames. With their strength-to-weight advantage and versatility, wire parts are ideal for applications where precision and reliability are essential.

- Furniture, medical and healthcare equipment
- Electronics, lighting and cable management
- Horticulture, agriculture and leisure products
Design for Manufacturability (DFM)
Our experienced team ensures each design is both functional and efficient to produce. We assist clients with:
- Bend radii & spring-back: accounting for material behaviour during forming.
- Tolerances: identifying critical dimensions to maintain cost-effective manufacture.
- Joining & assembly: advising when to specify welded versus mechanical joints.
- Surface finishing: recommending coatings or grades suitable for each environment.
Materials & Finishes
We work with a wide range of wire materials to suit mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, or appearance requirements:
- Steels: bright mild, spring and pre-galvanised steel.
- Stainless: 302, 304 and 316 for hygienic and corrosion-resistant applications.
- Finishes: zinc-plated, powder-coated, polished or passivated for enhanced durability and aesthetic appeal.
From Drawing to Delivery
Our streamlined production process ensures consistency and reliability from concept through to delivery:
- Design review: send your CAD, sketch or sample for evaluation.
- Prototype & approval: we produce an initial sample for fit and function testing.
- Tooling & programming: in-house jig and CNC setup for exact repeatability.
- Production: wire forming, welding, and finishing handled by our skilled team.
- Inspection & quality control: checked at each stage of manufacture.
- Packing & delivery: carefully packaged and delivered across the UK.
Quality & Warranty
Every batch of wire parts is produced to your specification and inspected for quality. Our workmanship and materials warranty covers all products as outlined in our Terms & Conditions. In the rare event of a defect, we offer repair, replacement or refund as appropriate.
Tolerances & Testing
Dimensional accuracy is maintained within tight tolerances — typically ±0.25 mm depending on the geometry and material. Regular checks with calibrated gauges ensure consistent results from start to finish. Our quality assurance process provides full traceability from raw material to finished part.
Case Studies
Construction Fixing Bracket
For a national fire-protection client, we created a robust mild-steel wire bracket capable of supporting conduit and cable trays. The optimised design reduced material weight by 18% and simplified on-site installation.
Retail Display Frame
We developed a stainless-steel display frame for a high-street retailer’s product stands. The result: strong, lightweight, and visually appealing structures finished in white powder coat to complement in-store branding.
Medical Accessory Clip
Our engineers produced precision-formed 316 stainless clips for laboratory equipment. The clips delivered consistent tension and long-term corrosion resistance — critical in clinical environments.
Frequently Asked Questions
What wire diameters can you form?
We manufacture stainless wire parts from 1–8 mm and mild or pre-galv wire up to 12 mm diameter.
Can you work from a sketch or sample?
Yes — our engineers can reverse-engineer from existing components or turn your concept sketch into a production-ready design.
Do you handle both small and large quantities?
Yes, from one-off prototypes to continuous high-volume contracts.
What finishes are available?
We offer zinc plating, powder coating, polishing and stainless finishing depending on environment and use.
Do you supply assemblies combining wire and sheet metal?
Yes — our fabrication department can integrate wire and sheet components into complex assemblies for greater strength and versatility.
