Cooney Marine: £100k investment

Started in 1968 by Kevin and Ann Cooney, Cooney Marine now employs 55 staff in a 35,000 sq-ft facility in Kettering, Northants.

Claiming to be the largest independent marine stainless steel fabricators in the country, Cooney has made several large investments in modern technology to enable it to produce its range of deck hardware, fixtures and fittings, passerelles, cranes, gangways and Simpson davits.

The bespoke range includes anything that can be manufactured in stainless steel, such as pulpits, pushpits, handrails and ladders. The company makes the RNLI lifeboat crane and perspex windscreen and flybridge screens and does a lot of work in bespoke fabrications for architectural applications and the food processing industries.

"Part of Cooney's success comes from our large in house capabilities, " said managing director James Cooney. "This means that we can control high quality manufacture with short lead times - fast delivery that is required in these demanding times."

The company offers hi tech tube manipulation - it can bend tube up to 62mm diameter and up to 6mm wall thickness. Our picture shows a less hefty tube being bent.

Cooney also does 4kW laser cutting up to 15mm thick in stainless steel, tube laser cutting and a large machining capacity with CNC turning centres and CNC vertical machining centres.

Add to this the company's large capacity metal forming machinery and its ability to polish metal to super mirror finishes.

"We've made £100k investment this year with new VMC with Cad Cam capabilities and a 160 tonne press brake, " said Cooney.
