Leeds Bronze Engineering has joined Made in Yorkshire!

We’re pleased to share that Leeds Bronze Engineering is now part of the Made in Yorkshire network. Becoming a member connects us with like-minded manufacturers across the region and underlines our long-standing commitment to UK industry.

Supporting Manufacturers across the UK and beyond

Managing Director, Neil Unitt explains our role in the supply chain:

“As a dedicated stockist of copper based alloys, Leeds Bronze Engineering supports the UK and export engineering markets”, and we have been doing so for over 50 years!”

“With our extensive stock range of aluminium bronze, leaded bronze and phosphor bronze alloys, we are able to support every customer requirement whether it is one off supply or longer term scheduled demand.”

We hold solid and hollow bar, as well as centrifugally cast tube, in a wide spread of sizes. 

That stock is backed by a responsive cutting service, as Neil explains:

“Material can be supplied as solid or hollow bar as well as centrifugally cast materials. Customers are able to utilise our cutting service in order to receive material in lengths that match their machining requirements.”

For customers who prefer finished parts, we can supply machined bushes, bearings and other bronze components, keeping quality front and centre:

“If customers require finished machined components, Leeds Bronze Engineering also have the ability to supply to customers across a wide range of sizes and volumes with final quality the focus within our process.”

From aerospace actuation to oil-and-gas drilling rigs, Leeds Bronze keeps a broad sweep of industries turning. Our alloys and machined bushes turn up in power-generation turbines, marine and offshore equipment, defence platforms, rail rolling-stock, heavy-plant gearboxes and precision machinery across general engineering. Whether it’s high-load bearings for a steel mill or corrosion-resistant bronze for a subsea valve, we support customers wherever reliable, copper-based components make the difference.

Why Made in Yorkshire?

Neil sees MIY as the perfect platform to collaborate and grow. In his own words:

“Leeds Bronze Engineering identified a need to gain wider networking focus that provided an opportunity to gain new ideas and collaborate across the Yorkshire area and wider UK. MIY will allow the business to link with the wider network to not only promote the Leeds Bronze Engineering name but support successful development of the business.”

We’re looking forward to attending MIY events, broadening our network and exploring new ways to keep our industry moving!
