DP Engineering

Precision-Engineered For Success

Some 20 years ago, the owner of a company that reconditioned motorcycle engjnes couldn’t get a part for a particular bike, so bought a machine to make it himself. He ended up by selling off the motorcycle side of business and going into the machining sector.

Now Cornish based DP Engineering is a leading supplier of precision-machined parts to the aerospace, defence, and medical industries. The key to its success? A passion for excellence in technology, plus a solid business network which provides strong opportunities for growth.

DP’s very broad customer base includes blue-chip aerospace companies such as Rolls Royce and Airbus. The company also supplies components to the MoD for systems including shoulder-launched anti-tank missiles.

Maintaining the highest standards in quality control is also what sets DP apart from its competitors. It has achieved accreditation to the aviation standard AS9100 by SGS. SGS is the world’s leading inspection, verification, testing and certification company, recognized as the global benchmark for quality and integrity. 

David Proctor, CEO of the company also understands how improving the efficiency of   the engineering sector’s supply chain is vital to its competitiveness. As a member of aerospace and defence industry trade organization A|D|S, DP takes part in its SC21 initiative aimed at modernizing the industry – and is a nominee for the highly prized SC21 Bronze Award.

Improved efficiency has also resulted from a recent £1m investment from DP into its state-of-the-art machinery, alongside ongoing training for the highly skilled 22-strong workforce.

“We pride ourselves on building good relationships with our customers,” says David Proctor. “They feel a personal connection, and that leads to repeat business."
