..Solution Design


Whatever your requirement, regardless of size or complexity, Form Automation can engineer a solution to meet your needs.

We pride ourselves on delivering manufacturing solutions that bring added value to our customers and hold no currency with the ‘One size fits all’ principle of engineering. Our solutions are tailored to meet our clients’ exact requirements, simply and cost effectively.

Our design engineers will actively listen to your requirement, discuss the systems that require modification, and rigorously assess your manufacturing process to truly understand what you want to achieve.
Only after this process has been carried out will we propose a solution that delivers your requirement – exactly.

Our design engineers are fully competent in all production design packages including AutoCAD and are always available to discuss project development issues and production questions by telephone or email.

If you have a production problem that you can’t find a solution for please contact us – we have a flair for creative thinking and problem solving and would welcome the opportunity to share our expertise with you!

However you approach us with your design concept – as an AutoCAD file or even a sketch on a piece of cardboard – our design engineers can help you bring it to life.
