Production gallery
The factory,
frame by frame.
Ten views follow the work from a hand-finished die through striking, assembly, inspection, packing and dispatch.
Four stages under one roof
From drawing
to release.
Tooling
Logo dies cut, hardened and proofed in-house.
Striking
Faces formed on mechanical presses with controlled tooling.
Assembly
Hoppers feed components into repeatable setting cells.
Release
Finish, dimensions and pull strength checked by batch.
In-house tooling
The tool
comes first.
Every custom button begins here. Artwork becomes a hardened steel die, cut and proofed a few metres from the press that will run it.
