In the competitive automotive and motorsport sectors, component reliability is critical for safety, performance, and long-term durability. At Three Way Pressings (TWP) Manufacturing in the heart of the Midlands, precision tube manipulation has become a cornerstone service that delivers the accuracy, strength, and repeatability demanded by OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers.
TWP offers a fully integrated manufacturing solution under one roof. Our capabilities include metal pressings, injection moulding (7 to 800 tonnes), CNC machining, CNC turning, welding and fabrication, assembly, and specialist tube manipulation – all certified to ISO 9001:2015 standards. This vertical integration reduces supply chain risks, shortens lead times, and ensures consistent quality control throughout the entire production process.
The Technical Advantages of Modern Tube Manipulation Our advanced CNC tube bending, end forming, and manipulation processes handle complex geometries with tight tolerances. Whether producing simple brackets or highly engineered assemblies for automotive exhaust systems, chassis components, or fluid transfer lines, we achieve exceptional repeatability across high-volume runs.
Working with a wide range of materials including mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminium, our team can accommodate everything from prototyping and tool design through to full production and logistics. The addition of our new CNC facility (featuring sliding head and bar-fed machines) further enhances our ability to deliver precision-machined components that complement tube-manipulated parts.
