K.L. Giddings Ltd provides high-quality in-house aluminium anodising from our facility near Cambridge, Cambridgeshire. By carrying out anodising alongside our precision CNC machining services, we offer our customers a faster, more efficient manufacturing process with complete control over quality and delivery. 

 

Whether you require a single prototype or a production batch, we can machine, inspect, anodise and deliver your components from one trusted supplier. 

 

 

For more than 60 years, K.L. Giddings Ltd has supplied precision-engineered components to customers throughout the UK. We work with companies in a wide range of industries, including: 

 

 

As an ISO 9001-certified precision engineering company, quality is at the heart of everything we do. Every component is manufactured and finished to the highest standards before leaving our facility. 

 

 

We offer a range of anodising finishes suitable for machined aluminium components, including: 

 

 

A durable, corrosion-resistant finish that enhances the natural appearance of aluminium while improving wear resistance. 

 

 

A popular finish for engineering components requiring a professional appearance, improved corrosion protection and increased surface durability. 

 

 

Ideal for product identification, specialist applications and decorative engineering components. 

 

 

Suitable for colour coding, assemblies and specialist engineering applications. 

 

Our in-house anodising process provides consistent results while reducing lead times compared with sending components to external subcontractors. 

 

 

Unlike many anodising companies, we also manufacture the components ourselves. 

 

Our facilities include: 

 

 

This allows us to provide a complete manufacturing solution from raw material through to finished component. 

 

 

Because anodising is carried out in-house, we can often reduce lead times significantly compared with companies that subcontract the finishing process. 

 

Benefits include: 

 

 

 

Every component is inspected using our dedicated inspection department. 

 

Our quality systems include: 

 

ISO 9001 Quality Management 

Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMM) 

First Article Inspection Reports (FAIR) 

Material Certification 

Certificates of Conformity 

Full dimensional inspection where required 

 

We understand that many of our customers manufacture safety-critical products and require complete confidence in every component supplied. 

 

 

Our anodising services are suitable for: 

 

 

 

Anodising creates a hard, protective oxide layer on the surface of aluminium. 

 

Benefits include: 

 

 

Unlike paint or powder coating, the anodised layer becomes part of the aluminium itself, making it highly durable and resistant to peeling or flaking. 

 

 

Based just outside Cambridge in Whittlesford, K.L. Giddings Ltd supplies customers throughout Cambridgeshire and across the United Kingdom.
