03 / 10 Capabilities
Every process your metalwork needs, in Mexico.
CNC and laser cutting, machining, welding, assembly, heat treatment, grinding and finishing, painting and coating. Spread across the companies of the Titan group and managed as one route.
Process 01 of 07
CNC & laser cutting
Fiber laser and CNC cutting turn your CAD files into accurate blanks, nested for material yield. Clean edges reduce downstream grinding, and tight repeatability keeps welded assemblies square.
- Fiber laser on sheet and plate
- CNC plasma for heavy plate
- Tube and profile cutting
- Nesting for yield
| Carbon steel | Up to 20 mm (3/4 in) by laser |
|---|---|
| Stainless steel | Up to 12 mm (1/2 in) |
| Aluminium | Up to 10 mm (3/8 in) |
| Sheet format | Up to 1 500 × 3 000 mm |
Process 02 of 07
Machining
CNC turning and milling for shafts, bushings, flanges, housings and fixtures. We machine steel, stainless, aluminium, brass and copper to your drawing and report the dimensions that matter.
- CNC turning
- 3-axis and 4-axis milling
- Drilling and tapping
- Line boring on weldments
| Tolerance | ±0.05 mm typical; tighter on request |
|---|---|
| Turning | Up to Ø300 mm |
| Milling envelope | Up to 1 000 × 500 × 500 mm |
| Surface finish | Ra 3.2 µm standard |

Welding
Our welders work in titanium, stainless steel, magnesium and pipe, and our mobile crews weld on site when a structure cannot come to the shop. Procedures and filler metals are chosen for the joint, not the habit.
- Titanium welding
- Stainless steel welding
- Magnesium welding
- Pipe welding
- Mobile on-site welding
| Processes | MIG (GMAW), TIG (GTAW), stick (SMAW) |
|---|---|
| Materials | Carbon and stainless steel, aluminium, titanium, magnesium |
| Joint types | Fillet, groove, pipe butt and socket |
| Inspection | Visual to your criteria; NDT on request |
Process 04 of 07
Assembly
Weldments, mechanical sub-assemblies and complete products, with hardware, inserts and fasteners fitted and kitted. Press-brake forming and trial fit-up happen before finishing, so parts arrive ready to install.
- Press-brake forming
- Weldments and frames
- Hardware insertion
- Kitting and trial assembly
| Bend length | Up to 3 m (10 ft) |
|---|---|
| Formats | Welded, knock-down or flat-pack |
| Hardware | Sourced, inserted and kitted |
| Checks | Fit, function and dimensional |
Process 05 of 07
Heat treatment
Hardening, tempering, normalizing, annealing and stress relief through the group's furnace partners, with hardness checked against your specification before parts move on.
- Quench and temper
- Case hardening
- Normalizing and annealing
- Stress relief of weldments
| Steels | Carbon, alloy and tool steels |
|---|---|
| Verification | Hardness testing per lot |
| Records | Cycle records available on request |
| Weldments | Stress relief before machining |
Process 06 of 07
Grinding & finishing
Weld blending, surface grinding, deburring, brushing and polishing. The difference between fabricated and fine metalwork is usually made here.
- Surface grinding
- Weld blending and dressing
- Brushed #4 and mirror polish
- Bead blasting
| Surface finish | Ra 0.8 µm by grinding |
|---|---|
| Polish | #4 brushed, #8 mirror |
| Edges | Deburred and broken to spec |
| Blasting | Glass bead and grit |
Process 07 of 07
Painting & coating
Powder coat, industrial wet paint systems, hot-dip galvanizing and anodizing. Colour is matched to your sample and film thickness is measured before parts are packed.
- Powder coat
- Industrial paint systems
- Hot-dip galvanizing
- Anodizing
- High-temperature coatings
| Powder film | 60 to 120 µm typical |
|---|---|
| Colours | RAL, Pantone or your sample |
| Galvanizing | Hot-dip, through partners |
| Checks | Film thickness, adhesion, gloss |
Materials
What we work, and how.
Carbon and stainless steel are the backbone. Aluminium, brass and copper are everyday work. Titanium and magnesium are specialist welding jobs we take on request.

Quality control
Inspection at every hand-off.
Quality is checked where defects start, not only at the end. Our team inspects cut parts, weld appearance and dimensions, then film thickness and finish before packing. White Lion adds production follow-up and pre-shipment inspection on top, so you have an independent pair of eyes in Mexico.
- First-article inspection
- Dimensional reports
- Weld visual inspection
- Coating thickness readings
- Pre-shipment inspection by White Lion
