In motion

All of our machinery is designed and manufactured to meet your specific requirements.

From research and design through to full product development. Our design and manufacturing departments use the latest 3D modelling and CNC operated machine tools and technology, for both prototyping and the manufacturing process.

Machine intelligence

Automation built in,
Not bolted on.

One app for your whole fleet

Every UMC machine reports to one app. Track production metrics and live status across every machine, on mobile or desktop.

UMC reporting app - fleet overview

Continuous live feed

Live production metrics so output stays high & downtime stays low.

Every metre tracked live

See output, OEE, speed and current shift for each machine, updated continuously, so you always know what the floor is producing.

The craft

Built by people who have spent four generations refining how wire fences are manufactured.

Every knot is individually twisted so the line and stay wires are never damaged. The result is a tighter, more uniform fence than other methods produce. That precision is the difference between a machine that runs and a machine that runs for decades.

Capability

The machines, where they matter.

Fabricated fence machine
2 in 1

One machine, two fence knots.

Our patented FLM is the only wire fence machine in the world that produces both Fixed Lokk and Stay Lokk knots, with minimal downtime to change between them.

Fence machines
