Delivering high-quality engineering products and services since 1965
Formally incorporated in 1965, Sandfield Engineering have actually been delivering high-quality engineering solutions for more than sixty years. In that time, we have worked with some of the world’s most renowned manufacturers, including Jaguar Land Rover, Volvo, JCB, Ford, Aston Martin, Kellogg’s, and household names in retail and distribution including Marks & Spencer, Tesco, DHL, and DPD.
The engineering services provided by Sandfield Engineering include:
- Custom-engineered solutions
- Custom clamp design
- Parts production, sourcing and supply
The benefits of working with an engineering solutions provider
Choosing a partner with deep manufacturing knowledge saves time, reduces risk and keeps your production lines moving. With Sandfield Engineering, you benefit from:
- Faster turnaround through in-house design and production.
- Reduced downtime with expertly specified clamps and fixtures.
- Flexibility to scale support up or down based on need.
- Over 60 years of experience solving complex engineering challenges.
Why choose Sandfield Engineering for your manufacturing challenge?
Our customers typically call on Sandfield Engineering to provide them with engineering services because they don’t have the resources or capacity to address a particular challenge in-house. This could be for a broad range of reasons, but they typically fall into three categories.
The biggest reason is that customers are faced with a new and unique manufacturing challenge that they haven’t made provision for and aren’t resourced to deal with internally. This may result from changes in their production processes or the introduction of new products.
The most common reason customers come to Sandfield Engineering is that they require specialist manufacturing knowledge and experience. Even if they have in-house teams, they are unlikely to match our sixty years of clamp design and production expertise.
The third reason is a lack of production capacity. Targets may have increased, a new product line is being launched, or outsourcing has been identified as a more cost-effective solution.

How to specify the right engineering service for your particular situation
Our team is highly experienced in dealing with all manner of manufacturing challenges and has developed structured processes for delivering effective solutions.
At Sandfield Engineering, we work with you to ensure that the engineering challenge is fully understood and documented before proposing a solution designed to meet your time and budget requirements.
We provide turnkey engineering services, supporting you throughout the process, from problem identification and specification through to design, manufacture and implementation.
Solving production problems with custom-engineered solutions
Our close relationships with hundreds of manufacturing engineers and managers, combined with the problem-solving nature of our clamp and holding systems, mean we are often called upon to support broader production challenges.
We’ve helped our customers develop solutions for:
- Self-closing battery boxes
- Hologram holding systems
- Safe gas cylinder retaining
- Battery cell production
- Automated valves for spill containment
No matter how complex or unique your challenge may seem, with more than sixty years of experience, it’s likely we’ve seen something similar – and solved it.

Custom clamp design to ensure your system performs to spec
If you’ve spent any time sourcing clamps, you’ll know there are hundreds of types with thousands of variations. That’s why Sandfield Engineering offers more than 700 clamp designs, in different materials, actions, finishes, dimensions and power types, all with short lead times.
To help you choose the right clamp, we’ve also developed the clamp selector tool.
But if your perfect clamp doesn’t yet exist, we’ll work with you to design it. Our custom clamp design service ensures your clamp is engineered to your exact requirements.
Components and parts sourcing services to support your production
If you don’t currently have the resources to meet your production targets due to a new product line, increased demand or to explore the benefits of outsourcing manufacturing, we’re here to help.
We offer a parts matching and assembly service to bridge the gap in your production capability. Whether you require single components or full assemblies, we provide sourcing support aligned with your timelines and performance requirements.

FAQs about our engineering services
What is a custom engineering solution?
A custom engineering solution is a tailored response to a specific production or manufacturing challenge. At Sandfield Engineering, this might involve designing a bespoke clamp for a unique fixture, developing a new system to improve part alignment, or reworking a process to reduce assembly time.
Our approach is consultative and practical. We assess your requirements, identify constraints, and deliver a solution engineered to fit your exact production environment. With over 60 years of experience, we’ve helped businesses across multiple industries overcome complex engineering issues with reliable, cost-effective results.
Do I need a custom clamp or a standard engineering solution?
It depends on your production setup. Many challenges can be addressed using one of our 700+ existing clamp designs, available in a wide range of materials, sizes and actions.
However, if your requirements are highly specific, such as unusual component geometry, tight tolerances, or unique force requirements, a custom clamp design may be the best solution.
Our team will assess your needs and advise whether a standard or custom engineering solution offers better long-term value.
Can your engineering services support urgent production needs?
Yes. Our in-house engineering and manufacturing capability allows us to respond quickly to urgent requests.
Whether you’re dealing with a bottleneck in production, a short lead time for a new line or supply chain disruption, we can step in to help.
Our team are experienced in rapidly delivering both off-the-shelf and custom engineering solutions that reduce downtime and keep your production targets on track.
Do your engineering solutions include both design and manufacturing?
Yes. Our engineering services can cover the full lifecycle from design to delivery. We manage everything in-house, from concept development and CAD modelling through to production, sourcing, testing and shipping.
This approach ensures consistent quality, shorter lead times and solutions that are built for real-world performance.
Our ability to deliver both design and manufacturing makes us a trusted partner for companies needing end-to-end engineering support.
