We were delighted to welcome our local MP Lola McEvoy to Mech-Tool Engineering yesterday for a tour of our new Thermal Defence manufacturing facility in Darlington.
This visit was a valuable opportunity to showcase the specialist role we play in supporting the defence and energy sectors—particularly through our work on critical national infrastructure and government-backed programmes.

Over the past decade, we’ve worked closely with leading UK defence primes to develop and test advanced thermal insulation systems, purpose-built to meet the stringent performance and survivability requirements of UK Defence Platforms. Our new facility strengthens our ability to deliver these cutting-edge solutions at scale, from design and qualification through to manufacturing and integration.

We are proud to be a UK manufacturer operating at the intersection of innovation, national resilience, and safety, and we truly appreciate Lola’s commitment to championing businesses like ours.

Thank you again for your time and continued support.
