A celebration of craftsmanship, community, and continuous improvement

As 2025 comes to an end, it’s impossible not to feel proud of everything the MPL Fabrications team has accomplished this year. It has been a period defined by progress, new talent joining the business, new efficiencies across the factory floor, major sustainability milestones, a year of community sponsorships, and a diverse range of projects delivered to customers across the UK.

More than anything, 2025 has been a celebration of the people who make MPL what it is: skilled, committed, and passionate about doing the job properly. This year, our team proved once again why MPL Fabrications is trusted as one of the Midlands’ most reliable fabrication partners.

 

A year defined by our people

MPL has always been built on strong foundations and not just machinery or capability, but loyalty, expertise, and togetherness.

In 2025 we celebrated:

A welding team with over 75 years of combined experience

Our coded welders delivered outstanding work across stainless steel, aluminium, and mild steel projects, all while the UK faced a severe national skills shortage in welding.
Their precision and consistency are the backbone of many specialist projects, from lift safety kit components to bespoke stainless fabrications.

The continued leadership of long-serving team members

Scott celebrated over 38 years with MPL this year, and Darren continued to expertly oversee the shop-floor with three decades of production experience behind him. Their knowledge ensures that new processes, new staff, and new technology all fit seamlessly into our workflow.

Welcoming new members into the MPL family

We welcomed Kerry-Ann, bringing valuable engineering experience from Bolyer Engineering who has strengthened our production capacity.
Her contribution has immediately, supported our ever-growing workload and adding fresh drive to the business.

The strength of MPL has always been its people and 2025 reaffirmed it.

 

Efficiency & Capacity: A factory running at its best

Thanks to major machinery investments over the past two years, 2025 became one of our most productive years to date.

New machinery delivering major efficiencies

Our Bystronic press brake, LVD CNC punch machine and Morgan Rushworth guillotine have:

• Increased our batching output dramatically
• Produced tens of thousands of brackets in just days
• Allowed us to handle urgent work with fast turnaround
• Improved accuracy, repeatability, and finish quality
• Boosted capacity across all departments

The result is a quicker turnaround, increased capacity, and exceptional consistency.  This allowed us to support more customers, including overspill work for other fabrication shops and manufacturers across Coventry, Warwickshire and beyond.

Full-service delivery

Our in-house delivery service continued to grow, allowing us to maintain quality control right up to the moment jobs reach the customer.

Improved storage and call-off reliability

Work began this year on expanding our secure storage for customer orders offering weather-tight storage for call-off stock for clients who need flexibility. This will be fully operational and up to capacity during 2026.

 

Community at our heart

2025 was also a year where we deepened our community connections.

Coventry Rugby sponsorship

We became proud sponsors of Coventry Rugby player Aristot “Toti” Benz-Salomon, supporting a club that embodies ambition, teamwork, and local pride.

Coundon Court Ladies FC sponsorship

This year we were also proud to continue to sponsor the 3/4 zip training tops for Coundon Court Ladies FC, supporting one of the region’s strongest and most ambitious women’s football teams. It’s been fantastic to see our logo worn with pride throughout their season.

Supporting Myton Hospices

This year we donated £450 to fund the cost of a full hospice bed for a day. Supporting a local charity that delivers such vital care remains one of our proudest contributions.

Supporting schools and future talent

We continued engaging with schools, offering support at community events and helping spark early interest in engineering.
In a year where the UK faced severe skills shortages, inspiring the next generation has never mattered more.

 

Sustainability: Small steps with big impact

2025 saw several meaningful upgrades in our commitment to greener operations:

Tree-planting programme thrives

Despite one of the driest summers in recent years, our newly planted trees are now flourishing, contributing to cleaner air and supporting biodiversity.

Free-to-use electric vehicle charging points

We installed two EV chargers for both staff and visitors to encourage sustainable travel and supporting customers and visitors arriving from across the country.

Energy-efficient factory heating

A brand new heating system, installed earlier this year, has significantly reduced energy usage and improved comfort for our team.

Responsible production practices

Across 2025 we continued investing in minimising waste, improving material efficiency, and streamlining processes to lower our carbon footprint.

 

A year of diverse projects

The range of work that passed through the factory this year was huge and is a testament to the breadth of skill in our team. Highlights include:

• High-volume bracket production for the healthcare sector
• Lift hoarding kit components
• Bespoke project for a local golf course
• CNC punched and laser-cut sheet metal components
• Festival ashtrays spotted at events across the UK
• Heavy-duty mounting tables, powder-coated and assembled in-house
• One-off prototypes through to long-run production work

Every project whether large or small was delivered with precision, care, and consistency.

 

Looking ahead to 2026

2026 promises to be another exciting year for MPL Fabrications, with plans including:

✨ Expansion of secure storage and call-off facilities
✨ Further machinery investment to improve capacity – watch this space!!!
✨ Continued sustainability measures
✨ More school engagement and skills outreach
✨ New partnerships across the Midlands
✨ Enhanced workflows for quoting & scheduling
✨ More sponsorship and community involvement

We’re excited to keep building on the foundation of this year by investing in our people, our equipment, and our customers.

 

Thank You for being part of our journey

To our customers, suppliers, partners, team members and supporters:

Thank you for your trust, collaboration and loyalty throughout 2025.

This year has proven just how strong UK manufacturing can be when businesses invest, innovate and support their local communities.
We’re proud of our role in that story and excited for wha’s to come.

Here’s to a productive, sustainable and successful 2026.

From all of us at MPL Fabrications; thank you.
