Services
Innovation
The AUS innovation team solves its customers’ most challenging problems, developing new products and enhancing existing solutions. This talented team has been built via Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (KTPs) with the University of Huddersfield.
Manufacturing
AUS’ Huddersfield facility enables it to manufacture many of its products onsite – ensuring shorter lead times and a high-quality finish for clients.
Repair, testing and inspection
AUS’ team of LEEA-accredited inspectors ensure that equipment remains safe and compliant, traveling to worksites and facilities across the UK. The business also offers calibration and earth repair services.
Training
AUS’ skilled instructors deliver training that keeps staff safe, covering everything from fall arrest equipment to use and inspection of electrical safety gloves.
Key project
AUS was commissioned to support the transformative Midland Mainline Electrification project, supplying small part steelwork assemblies rather than components. This saved time and money for its client, SPL.
