BACKGROUND
Turnforge is built on over a decade of mechanical design experience across regulated and industrial environments, including aviation and defence supply chains, pharmaceutical handling and processing equipment, and specialist machinery.This includes extensive experience designing hoists, tippers, and automated handling systems for cleanroom and GMP-regulated environments. Much of this work is confidential; public examples are therefore intentionally limited.
