James White Engineering, Enginering Company, Reading, UK

James White Engineering (JWE) was founded in Reading in 1953, having previously been a coach company. We diversified into engineering due to the shortage of parts to maintain our coaches following the Second World War. The only way to get these parts was to make them in-house! Word got around about our engineering capabilities and a business was born.

In the mid-fifties JWE concentrated on sheet metalwork for the aircraft industry - both military and commercial. Over the decades, thanks to consistent investment and a total commitment to quality, JWE is now a Tier 1 supplier into the defence, medical and aerospace OEMs.

Approved to BS EN ISO9001:2000, we now offer our customers a complete manufacturing solution from design to delivery, including management of customer inventory levels. We work with aluminium, copper, mild, stainless steels and plastics. Delivery is by our own fleet of vehicles, and we are conveniently situated close to many of the main motorway routes.

The ability to offer our clients a rapid prototype and pre-production service using state of the art 3D modelling has been extremely well received.

With additional reverse engineering facilities, JWE is now able to offer innovative design solutions to assist customers in reducing their costs while maintaining quality and efficiency.
