Wallwork to showcase medical-grade coatings and HIP expertise at Manufacturing Solutions Conference, Ireland

Wallwork Heat Treatment will preview finishing and densification services for medical and pharmaceutical device markets at the Manufacturing Solutions Conference taking place in Limerick, Ireland on 11 June 2026. On stand T7, visitors can explore how Wallwork helps manufacturers raise component performance, extend tool life and strengthen quality assurance.

Wallwork is set to emphasise PVD coatings. Tailored to meet the needs of high-precision medical and pharma production environments, these coatings deliver low-friction, wear-resistant surfaces, protecting components and tooling operating under repetitive cycles and strict cleanliness expectations. Wallwork’s Cambridge coatings facility is a centre of excellence for customers seeking proven process expertise that supports regulated manufacturing.

Alongside coatings, visitors will learn about Wallwork’s growing hot isostatic pressing (HIP) capacity. Particularly relevant to parts where internal integrity and repeatability are paramount. HIP improves material soundness by eliminating internal voids and porosity. This capability enhances fatigue life and mechanical reliability. In fact, Wallwork has recently installed a second Quintus Technologies hot isostatic press (pictured below), taking investment to £20 million and reinforcing the company’s commitment to high-integrity processing at scale.

Beyond the medical and pharma-focused services, Wallwork offers a broad range of thermal processing with over 100 heat treatments available, including plasma nitriding, vacuum carburising and vacuum brazing. According to the group, it supports customers across aerospace, motorsport, automotive, tooling and more, bringing depth of experience and best practice to every project.

Quality and verification remain central to the Wallwork brand. The business operates in-house, well-equipped, UKAS certified mechanical testing labs. This capability enables responsive validation, rapid order turnaround and strong traceability. In addition, Wallwork holds AS9100 and Nadcap accreditations, reflecting robust systems, controlled processes and documentation discipline.

Customers also benefit from Wallwork’s full end-to-end service, which includes engineering support, processing, in-house testing and documentation. All delivered through one supplier, the service reduces risk, simplifies procurement and accelerates time to production.
