We design and manufacture premium stainless steel and copper column stills, engineered to meet your exact production requirements. Available in a wide range of sizes and specifications, every still is built with precision, quality and performance in mind.


Every copper still is custom-manufactured to your exact requirements and can be supplied with either internal or external heating. We also produce all Forsyth’s swan necks and copper bends, ensuring consistent quality and precision across every component.


Our condensers are manufactured from high-quality copper or stainless steel and are available in a wide range of sizes. We produce both traditional worm tub and modern shell-and-tube condenser designs, with each unit tailored to your specific operational requirements. Options such as heat recovery and multi-pass configurations can be incorporated to maximise efficiency and performance.


With over 20 years of experience, we design, manufacture, and install bespoke Mash Tuns ranging from 0.5 to 12 tonnes. Built in premium stainless steel with a choice of copper or stainless steel tops, our systems are available in Lauter, Semi-Lauter and Tumbler configurations to suit your production requirements.

Our end-to-end service includes design, fabrication, installation, process pipework, pumps, heat exchangers and bespoke control systems. We also provide expert maintenance and mechanical servicing to help maximise performance and minimise downtime.


We manufacture a wide range of these vessels — in stainless steel, carbon steel or copper — in various sizes and configurations for every stage of the distillation process. Building a specification starts with what it’ll be used to store or process, and with easy access and temperature control front of mind.

From complex malt intake systems with fully mechanised malt conveyor systems to process vessels, hoppers and tanks, we offer all equipment and vessels to support your distillation or food and manufacturing process.  In addition, we can develop and commission control systems to operate all equipment.

Our expert designers and fabricators ensure that all of your equipment, vessels and pipework is easily accessible though our custom-built industrial steel flooring, access ladders, stairways and platforms.


We fabricate and weld high-quality process pipework in stainless steel, carbon steel and copper, manufactured to meet both UK and international engineering standards. Available in a wide range of sizes and thicknesses, every system is built for strength, reliability and long-term performance.

Before leaving our Moray facility, all pipework undergoes rigorous testing to ensure it meets the highest standards of quality, safety, and performance.


We manufacture high-quality sample safes in brass, copper and stainless steel, combining traditional craftsmanship with modern engineering. Designed to provide a clear and accurate view of spirit flow, our sample safes play a vital role in helping distillers make precise spirit cuts while delivering long-lasting performance and reliability.
