About Advanex Europe

Global Precision. Local Expertise. Engineered to Perform.

Advanex Europe is a specialist in the design, development, and manufacture of precision metal components, including springs, wire forms, pressings, insert mouldings, and complex assemblies. With over 75 years of engineering heritage and innovation, we are trusted by global leaders across a wide range of industries to deliver reliable, high-performance solutions.

As a key member of the Advanex Group, headquartered in Japan, we are part of a network of over 20 manufacturing and sales sites across Europe, Asia, and the Americas. This global footprint enables us to combine world-class engineering standards with flexible, responsive support tailored to regional and local markets.

Strategically Positioned in Europe

Advanex Europe operates from two advanced manufacturing sites in the UK—Southwell and Bilborough in Nottinghamshire—and a purpose-built facility in the Czech Republic, strategically located to serve mainland Europe. These sites are equipped with cutting-edge manufacturing technologies and house our in-house tooling, design, and automation teams, allowing us to provide full end-to-end support, from concept to production.

What We Do

We specialise in producing custom-engineered components that meet the highest standards of performance, reliability, and consistency. Our core product range includes:

  • Compression, tension, and torsion springs

  • Wire forms and precision pressings

  • CoilThread® / KATO® tangless and tanged inserts

  • Insert mouldings (metal-to-plastic integration)

  • Bespoke assemblies and automation-friendly components

  • LOCKONE® locking systems for anti-vibration applications

Every part is manufactured to tight tolerances, using quality-controlled processes that are fully traceable and compliant with industry standards.

Industries We Serve

Our components are used across some of the world’s most demanding industries, where performance, safety, and durability are paramount:

  • Automotive – Springs, inserts, and pressings used in steering, braking, fuel injection, and safety-critical systems

  • Medical & Pharmaceutical – Cleanroom production of high-precision springs and assemblies for drug delivery, diagnostics, and surgical tools

  • Aerospace – Lightweight, high-strength components used in commercial aviation and aerospace systems

  • Office Automation – Hinges, insert mouldings, and spring systems used in printers, copiers, and consumer devices

  • Infrastructure – Vibration-resistant fasteners and custom parts used in railway, construction, and utility applications

  • Electronics & Telecommunications – Precision wire forms and insert mouldings for connectors, enclosures, and control systems

We support both high-volume manufacturing and low-volume, high-complexity projects with equal dedication and expertise.

Engineering & Innovation at Our Core

At Advanex Europe, innovation is more than a buzzword—it’s embedded in every aspect of our operations. Our in-house design and development teams work closely with customers to transform ideas into practical, manufacturable solutions. From prototyping to fully automated production lines, we provide comprehensive engineering support that reduces time-to-market and total cost of ownership.

We also design and build our own automated production systems and tooling, giving us control over every stage of the manufacturing process. This approach ensures scalability, repeatability, and quality—especially for components used in mission-critical applications.

Sustainability, Quality & Compliance

We are proud to operate under internationally recognised certifications:

  • ISO 9001 – Quality Management

  • ISO 14001 – Environmental Management

Our commitment to continuous improvement, waste reduction, and environmental responsibility is reflected in every component we deliver. Whether it’s using energy-efficient production methods or sourcing responsibly, we take sustainability seriously—because long-term value begins with long-term thinking.
