Factory Tour at Sertec – Grantham House

💡 Feel the force. Hear the press. See scale in motion.

This is Sertec – Part Two – a deeper look into the foundations that continue to support Sertec’s future.

Following the innovation-led transformation underway at Wincaster House, Made in Group members are invited inside Sertec’s heavy stamping operation – currently operating as Sertec Heavy Stampings (SHS) – and undergoing its own evolution, with plans for the site to be renamed Grantham House in 2026.

This site represents the industrial backbone of Sertec’s UK operations. Home to some of the group’s most powerful presses, it produces large, complex steel components that form the structural backbone of vehicles supplied to global OEMs.

To position Grantham House as the Group’s centre of excellence for pressing technology and to ensure the site is readying itself for future work, targeted investment is being deployed over the coming years. Building on its strong foundations in engineering capability and operational excellence, the site will undergo focused upgrades across specialised areas including the toolroom, core operational zones, and logistics flow – enhancing precision, efficiency, and throughput. Combined with continued modernisation and improvements to employee welfare facilities, these developments will elevate Grantham House’s overall performance and strengthen its readiness for the next generation of customer and business demands.

At Grantham House, visitors will see the skills and capabilities that have enabled Sertec to diversify beyond traditional automotive OEMs into EV and non-automotive sectors. The facility operates a broad press range – including manual, progressive and transfer equipment, with tonnage capacity from 80T through to 800T – demonstrating both flexibility and scale.

Here, manufacturing is felt as much as it is seen. High-tonnage presses, disciplined processes, and experienced teams combine to deliver high-volume output where precision, safety, and uptime are non-negotiable. Advanced technology and a highly skilled workforce power the site’s ability to deliver complex, high-quality solutions across multiple industries.

On the day, you will experience:

• Heavy stamping in action – large-scale presses producing critical structural components

• A broad press range from 80T to 800T, including manual, progressive and transfer operations

• High-volume production environments where throughput, quality, and efficiency must align

• Tooling, dies, and process discipline that underpin Sertec’s tier-one performance

• Skilled teams operating complex, safety-critical equipment

• A different expression of the Sertec DNA – strength, resilience, adaptability, and industrial capability at scale
  
  

Why Attend?

This tour offers a rare opportunity to stand alongside some of the UK’s most powerful stamping operations and see how heavy manufacturing continues to play a vital role in modern vehicle platforms, electrification programmes, and wider industrial applications.

Together, Wincaster House and Grantham House form two chapters of the same story – evolution without losing identity. Innovation grounded in industrial strength. Progress built on steel, skill, and people.
