Capacity

HEAVY, BIG AND DIRTY IS JUST FINE

Hygap is good at machining heavy billets. We have the ability to machine large, difficult-to-handle billets. We’re not afraid of dirty, cumbersome work. On the other hand, we always make sure deliveries are as clean and user friendly as possible.

OUR PRODUCTION

Precision

… OR FINE, SMALL AND PRECISE

We take care of precision components in a service-minded manner and with assured delivery performance. It might concern ongoing supplies of small components, covers and housings made of plastic and moulded aluminium. This would primarily involve machining by milling, thread cutting and drilling.
