We supply engineering understanding and can provide you with a product design advantage. Whilst a large portion of our portfolio is automotive sealing systems and plastic injection mouldings, sound engineering practice works in all areas from complex composite components to wooden structures.

Covering anything from concept layouts to tool design, we pride ourselves on thinking both ‘in and outside the box’ to establish (and engineer) the optimal solution. By maintaining a stable team of motivated engineers we’re able to deliver fast and reliable results. Our highly developed CatiaV5 modellingprocesses (adopted by many of our clients as “best practice”) allows efficient design changes with transparent product design history, whilst maintaining a compliant data structure. The use of FEA concept of verification during rather than after the design processes reduces design cycles and promotes a “know it’s right first time” ethos.

Design and Development Expertise

We have the following CAD development systems:

  • Catia V5
  • MARC/Mentat (linear/non-linear finite element analysis)
  • ALTAIR Hypermesh (FEA preprocessing)
  • Injection Moulded Plastics
  • Elastimer Components

Shireshead delivers design, development and verification of dynamic and static sealing components. Working closely with vehicle manufacturers and tier one suppliers Shireshead Design, “best-practice” solutions and bodywork design support.
