We operate a design process in line with BS7000, which includes agreeing a design specification and completing at least one design review per project.

Our service extends to completing a full product data package in compliance with current European Directives and CE marking requirements.

Your product may include Mechanical, Electrical, Electronic, or Optical elements. Chelker will take care of it all if required.

We can also arrange for prototypes to be built, showing proof of concept, or production prototypes for testing and demonstration.

Let us quote you for manufacture of your product.

Our experience in the Aerospace and Defence industries ensures a high level of professionalism in our management of projects. The size of the project will determine the level of management required. However, the aim will be to ensure no surprises - to deliver what we said, when we said. If required, project plans will be submitted to you, together with regular review reports.

From in-house model making to small scale production, we can realise your product. Using reliable suppliers we can manage the production of your prototypes, one-off or small batches for a fixed cost, eliminating uncertainty for your business. We also offer the latest rapid prototyping techniques using ABS plastics - strong enough for functional testing and cheaper than you may think.

Our experience in cost reduction and value analysis can be used to give your business a competitive edge. Let us look at your product and your production techniques with a view to reducing your variable costs.

Let us look at your production process and we will offer you real productivity gains. Our expertise extends to bespoke machinery, materials handling, and packaging equipment.

For tooling, jigs, and fixtures, Chelker will produce an economical and efficient solution to your needs.

We can also offer a range of equipment to improve the efficiency, accuracy, and safety of your machine tools.

All designs produced by Chelker are fully compliant with current European Directives. In addition, we can help you to CE mark your own products. In some cases, this may require no change to the design, and just the completion of a risk analysis report, together with the setting up of some simple files and procedures.

We have experience in streamlining procedures to help your company to comply with ISO9000 using less red tape. Meeting the requirements need not be difficult. Many companies adopt or end up with procedures that are cumbersome or unworkable. We can also provide ongoing help with internal auditing to ISO9000 standards.
