AUTOMATION & ENGINEERING DEVELOPMENT

William Hughes is one of the UK and Europe’s leading manufacturers for wire form fabrication and sub-assemblies for the Automotive sector, with facilities in the UK, Poland and Bulgaria.

In automotive manufacturing, every component, no matter how small, is a critical link between design intent and road-ready performance and has a direct impact on safety, comfort and helps to maintain long-term reliability of the vehicle across its full-service life.

The introduction of electric vehicles (EVs), lightweight materials and advanced driver assistance systems has increased the demand for dimensional accuracy, controlled material properties and contamination-free assembly.  William Hughes supports Tier 1 and OEM automotive manufacturers with industry-specific expertise that combines wire form and spring design, CNC manufacture, ultrasonic cleaning and tailored kitting to ensure that components arrive at line-side ready for immediate installation.

Meeting the Challenges of the Automotive Supply Chain

We set ourselves apart as a leading manufacturer of wire form assemblies for automotive manufacture, with the knowledge and expertise of our engineering technicians.  In the shift from Internal Combustion Engines (ICE) to Electric Vehicle (EV) manufacture, we help resolve design and manufacturing challenges that lead to component failure, high waste or excessive production costs. Our facilities offer advanced automation, precision testing and design validation tools to deliver production-ready solutions from first-off prototypes to full-scale line-side integration.

One of Europe’s Leaders in Automotive Component Manufacturing

William Hughes Poland specialises in high-volume, welded and formed metal components, and is strategically located to serve major automotive OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers across Central and Eastern Europe. The facility has grown from the foundations of Nosag Polska, a specialist in welded seat structures and complex wire assemblies, acquired by William Hughes in 2017. With decades of specialist knowledge, the Polish site underpins William Hughes’ wider manufacturing operations, supporting large-scale production with full quality traceability, consistent throughput, and automotive sector compliance.

High-Volume Welding, Assembly and Wire Forming

Our Polish site specialises in the high-volume manufacture of welded wire assemblies, including automotive seating structures, seat mats and torsion bars for applications, including electric vehicle (EV) and ICE assembly. As OEMs transition towards lightweight and modular EV design, our capabilities allow for the efficient manufacture of wire-based structural supports, battery compartment reinforcements and vibration-dampening spring assemblies.

Precision springs play a vital role in mechanical systems, providing force, motion management and durability across industries including aerospace, automotive, medical and nuclear. As a major UK spring manufacturer with facilities in Bulgaria and Poland, William Hughes delivers end-to-end support from design through to production, backed by advanced CNC coiling, statistical quality controls and integrated automation. Trusted by assembly-level OEMs as a Tier 1 supplier, we focus on tight-tolerance spring solutions for performance-critical applications. Our engineering team ensures every spring meets exact requirements for load, free length, fatigue life and material standards.
