Di-Spark is a leading name in high-tech, precision manufacturing, offering the
latest, most-advanced machining and production methods to produce even the
most complex products quickly and efficiently.

From our earliest days, Di-Spark has aspired to best practice in everything
that we do. This principle has guided us to invest in advanced technology whilst working to
internationally-recognised quality standards such as AS9100C, SC21 [supply chain improvement program] and investors in people with highly trained staff.

David Light, Managing Director
‘We are a precision engineering business, founded in nineteen eighty, we now employs forty people, operate from twenty thousand square feet and are placed just outside of Portsmouth.’

‘We look to build mutually beneficial strategic partnerships with our customers with the aim of delivering customer satisfaction’

‘We’re committed to striving for best practice right across our business. We use such tools as lean manufacturing techniques, we’re certified to AS9100c and we are a signatory to the supply chain improvement program SC21.’

‘Our customers expect exceptional service, and rightly so.Whilst we are constantly innovating, we never lose sight of the holy trinity, of price, delivery and quality’

‘In terms of technology we utilise multitasking machine tools. These allow us to produce parts with fewer setups with improved accuracy and reduced cycle time’

Simon Binny, Business Manager
‘Customers require quality, price and delivery. To achieve these goals it requires a close working partnership.’

Di-Spark’s cutting-edge five axis milling machines allow us to manufacture
complex and high precision parts in fewer operations, radically improving quality, lead time and cost.

Our wire [erosion] and spark erosion machines offer state of the art automation,
allowing us to minimise downtime and provide unmanned production

David Light, Managing Director
‘The only certainty about manufacturing is that progress doesn’t stand still. We’re not afraid of change we – embrace it. We look for opportunities rather than threats and constantly look to improve customer service’

‘Investment in new technology is very important to us. We invest whenever we need to.
If it improves customer service, then we’ll buy.’

‘When making investment, we always look to buy the best technology that we can afford
Our philosphy is, that you can do a simple job on an advanced machine, but you can’t do a complex job on a basic machine’

‘Automation allows us to work very flexibly. People do not have to work long hours in the factory. Machines can be remotely monitored from home’

Di-Spark’s ongoing innovation is what gives us the edge to lead the field,
not just within Britain but internationally. Our commitment to continuous improvement and utilisation of lean manufacturing techniques mean that our partners are guaranteed cost-effective manufacturing solutions

David Light, Managing Director
‘Training and development is very high on our agenda. We currently have 4 apprencitices being trained and we’ve just taken on an engineering graduate, and he’s hit the ground running.’

‘We’re always sending people in training courses not only to improve their skills
but to have a positive impact on the overall company performance.’

‘We provide work experience placement for local school kids. One of these is now an apprentice here at Di-Spark.’

Simon Binny, Business Manager
‘Di-Spark is addressing the issue of skills levels, by working closely
with establishments such as PETA, working closely with Portsmouth University
to bring through graduates, and developing technology with Portsmouth University’

‘Also looking at our [own] people and making sure they are making the most of their skill levels within the company itself.’

We work across the wide number of industry sectors for blue-chip clients
who require the highest levels of service and customer satisfaction, like
aerospace, satellite, defense and oil and gas.

Whatever industry you work in, Di-Spark provide you products that make no compromises.

David Light, Managing Director
‘Our intention is to assure our customers that we are producing parts in the most efficient way possible’
