Our story

Three decades of getting difficult parts right first time.

Accord Engineering started as a small fabrication shop on Wilbury Way. Today we run a fully equipped facility covering laser cutting, forming, welding, structural steel and powder coating — but the way we work hasn't changed.

Every job is owned by someone who understands the drawing. Our tradespeople have been here for decades, and much of our work still comes from customers who first called us in the nineties.

  • Family-run, independently owned
  • Long-serving, time-served workforce
  • Full traceability on every batch
  • Investment in modern CNC plant

Experience & know-how

Three decades of hard-won knowledge behind every part we make.

Accord has been fabricating in Hertfordshire since 1987. The same team that quotes your job programmes the machines, welds the assemblies and signs off the inspection — so the know-how never gets lost in a handover.

  • Time-served engineers

    Coded welders, CNC programmers and setters with decades on the shop floor — not agency labour brought in per job.

  • Design-for-manufacture input

    We read your drawings properly. If a detail will cost you money or fail in service, we tell you before we cut.

  • Specialists, not generalists

    Aluminium and steel is all we do. That focus is why architects, main contractors and OEMs keep coming back.
