Automotive Components Manufacturer 
RCT is a UK-based manufacturer specialising in precision tube section fabrication, welding and finishing for automotive parts. Based in the West Midlands at the heart of the UK’s manufacturing industry, we can bring over three decades of experience to the production of robust, high-performance vehicle components.
We serve a range of automotive applications, including:
- Premium passenger vehicles
- Prototype and development vehicles
- Commercial fleet and logistics vehicles
- Military and defence transports
Automotive Components We Supply
RCT supplies a wide range of automotive components engineered for strength, safety and fit-for-purpose integration. Key projects include:
Structural components
Engineered to provide rigidity and support within vehicle frames, our structural components are designed to meet demanding mechanical stress and load-bearing requirements, particularly in chassis and subframe assemblies.
Chair frames and seating structures
We manufacture ergonomic and safety-compliant seat frames tailored for both commercial and specialist vehicles. Our solutions are optimised for weight efficiency, strength and ease of integration.
Automotive Tube Section Fabrication & Bending
As specialists in tube section manufacturing, RCT provides precision tube bending for vehicles across various specifications. Our in-house capabilities include:
- Mandrel tube bending for tight-radius and complex geometries, ideal for producing high-integrity bends in load-bearing components where minimal deformation is critical.
- Tube cutting and forming with close-tolerance control, enabling the creation of consistent, precision-fit parts suitable for structural and exhaust applications.
- Twin Head tube bending for symmetrical forming of mild steel parts up to 32mm in diameter, allowing dual-end bends in a single cycle for faster, more repeatable production where mirrored geometry is essential.
Common applications include exhaust systems, chassis reinforcements, roll cages and seating frames. We work exclusively with mild steel tubes and box sections, processed within tight automotive tolerances to ensure consistency, structural integrity and cost-efficiency for all automotive applications.
Automotive Welding Services
Our automotive welding services are designed to meet the rigorous mechanical and visual demands of modern vehicle manufacturing. As a trusted provider of automotive metal welding in the UK, we deliver both manual MIG welding carried out by trained professionals and automated welding through CoWelders. All work is carried out in accordance with strict automotive weld quality standards, ensuring consistent and reliable results.
We offer production flexibility to support various project scales, from initial prototyping to large-scale manufacturing. Every weld undergoes stringent structural and quality checks, including visual inspection and mechanical testing where required, to guarantee the safety and performance of the final component.
Quality Assurance for Automotive Components
We are a certified automotive parts supplier committed to meeting and exceeding automotive manufacturing quality standards:
- ISO 9001:2015 certification
- In-process inspections and final product verification
- Full traceability systems for all materials and components
This rigorous quality control ensures every product leaving our facility is production-ready and fully compliant with your specifications.
