Our in-house 2D flat bed and 3D 5-axis lasers offer bespoke mesh and pattern designs with no tooling cost and quick turnaround, whilst complementing our complex geometry pressing for trimming and detail without distortion.
Cool is the key word when it comes to both the functionality and design of ventilation and air inlet mesh. By altering the free area through the extent of expansion or hole size, we can optimise the air flow level through design be it functional or decorative.
Ash & Lacy Automotive specialise in producing all types of ventilation grilles & ventilation mesh using our bespoke perforating, photo etching and laser technology linked to the most advanced CAD systems.
Our automotive grilles and mesh products are intended to control temperature, moisture and pressure variances while reducing dust, fluid and other environmental impurities. In addition, they contribute as a significant exterior design feature.
Ash & Lacy Automotive have established an enviable reputation for creating custom-built ventilation grilles & ventilation mesh components that meet the exacting needs of the aerospace and automotive industries.

Capabilities
Providing our clients with full service solutions that encompass our wide range of process capabilities and specialist manufacturing techniques.
Perforated & Expanded Mesh
Our all-across and CNC-operated punch presses contain punches to stamp a full sheet width or cluster series of holes, producing your required perforated pattern.
Expanded Mesh
Our dedicated, purpose-built expanded metal machines simultaneously slit and stretch longitudinally.
Laser Cutting
Our in-house 2D flat bed and 3D 5-axis lasers offer bespoke mesh and pattern designs with no tooling cost and quick turnaround, whilst complementing our complex geometry pressing for trimming and detail without distortion.
Metal Pressing & Stamping
Utilising a wide range of press tonnages and bed sizes, we can cater from simple form operations to full car width multistage progression pressing.
Photo Etching
Our in-house metal photochemical etching line can realise intricate designs faster and more efficiently than ever.
