Our History & Foundation
Founded by Malcolm Nicholls in 1971, MNL was established with a singular vision: to bridge the gap between design and manufacturing. From our origins as specialist model makers, we have consistently embraced technological advancements, evolving into a comprehensive service provider that integrates traditional craftsmanship with cutting-edge Additive Manufacturing (3D Printing) and CNC Machining.
This commitment to staying at the forefront of technology ensures we can handle the most complex and demanding projects, delivering prototypes that meet the exact fit, form, and function requirements of final production parts.
Our Values: Precision, Partnership, and Progress
Our long-standing success is built on three core values:
Precision: We maintain rigorous quality control standards across all processes. Every component that leaves our facility reflects our dedication to accuracy and superior quality.
Partnership: We see ourselves as an extension of your design and engineering team. Our collaborative approach ensures we understand your project goals and provide expert guidance from initial concept review through to final delivery.
Progress: We continually invest in new technologies and train our team to maintain our position as industry leaders, ensuring our clients always benefit from the latest advancements in prototyping and manufacturing.
“We were blown away with the quality and detail. Thank you very much for your efforts I cannot speak highly enough of you”
