Sustainability

Sustainable manufacturing at Dicker Precision

At Dicker Precision Components, we have been delivering high-quality subcontract machining from our Hailsham workshop since 1973. As a family-run business with over five decades of engineering expertise, we recognise that looking after our environment is just as important as delivering precision components for the aerospace, medical, automotive, and oil and gas sectors.

Operating responsibly is built into how we work. As an ISO 14001 certified organisation, our environmental commitments are integrated with our rigorous ISO 9001 quality standards. We believe that precision engineering and sustainable manufacturing go hand in hand – ensuring that the components we produce for clients across the UK, Europe, and the USA are matched by responsible practices on our shop floor.

Our approach to reduction and responsibility:

Energy-Efficient Operations: Optimising our CNC turning, milling, and in-house programming workflows to reduce unnecessary power consumption and waste
Responsible Resource Use: Carefully managing raw materials to minimise offcuts and maximise material efficiency
Supply Chain Alignment: Partnering with trusted local and national suppliers who share our commitment to high standards and sustainable operations
Continuous Improvement: Regularly reviewing our processes to find new ways to shrink our environmental footprint as technology and industry standards evolve

We view sustainability as an ongoing journey rather than a one-off box to tick. By combining five decades of manufacturing craftsmanship with modern, environmentally conscious processes, we aim to build a resilient, responsible business that supports our team, our community, and future generations of engineers.
