No compromise with seemingly limitless portfolio

08 December 2015

Goss Springs designs and manufactures a wide range of spring components; whilst a second arm of the business operating from the same site, PMT, offers an impressive range of pressed components and multi slide tooling for customer specific applications.

Nick Goss who runs the family business along with Dan Goss, comments: “A customer can try and pick up a catalogue of “standard” press parts and try and find the component that most closely meets the requirement of the application and envelope he has to fill. This will inevitably lead to compromises of choice and design being made, perhaps to the detriment of the application and the service the customer wants to provide. 

“Put simply, our approach is the opposite: we invite the customer to tell us the available envelope for the component and we will design and manufacture the optimum component for the application. We do not make our customers adapt their requirements to the availability and characteristics of a stock product, here at PMT we will design and make exactly what they wanted in the first place.”

The range of products and services offered by PMT is seemingly limitless. From shock absorber components for cars to components for paper roll feeders and small pressed parts and springs found in domestic application like the household electrical socket and plug. Further examples of relatively simple everyday products include hose clips and the small springs to be found in alkaline battery holders.

The pressed part capability of PMT follows the same philosophy as Goss Springs. “We will make the optimised component from the precise requirement of the customer and use the best possible materials available,” confirms Nick.

The wide range of materials includes annealed and pre-hardened carbon steel, stainless steel, non ferrous alloys, silver, nickel, gold, the latest generation of thermo-bimetals and high nickel alloy material for corrosive and arduous environments.
