At Salop Design & Engineering, we offer a select range of advanced surface finishing processes designed to enhance product durability, appearance, and performance. Our in-house capabilities are complemented by strong partnerships with industry-approved finishers, giving us the ability to meet the most demanding aesthetic and functional specifications.
All services are fully integrated into our production and logistics workflows, with delivery performance managed through our internal Salop Haulage Logistics operation. This ensures short lead times, high traceability, and complete project control.
Shot Blasting
Shot blasting is used for surface preparation prior to coating, ensuring optimal paint adhesion and substrate consistency. Our automated and manual systems remove mill scale, oxides, and surface contaminants. We use a range of blasting media to produce tailored anchor profiles, suitable for mild steel, stainless steel, and castings.
Comprehensive Quality & Logistics Control
All finishing services—whether internal or outsourced—are managed under our robust quality management system. Key controls include:
- Pre- and post-process inspection and documentation
- Coating thickness verification
- Adhesion, gloss, and cross-hatch testing
- Full traceability and certification for each batch
With SHL managing our transport operations, we offer full logistics control from our production lines to finishing providers and back—enabling fast turnaround times.
