OUR ETHOS

Practical Engineering, Built Around Quality

Our approach is simple: combine experienced people, practical engineering judgement and the right manufacturing capability to deliver work properly.

At our Martock facility, designers, engineers, machinists, fabricators and manufacturing specialists work closely together across design support, profiling, machining, forming, fabrication, assembly, inspection and testing.

We review drawings, materials, tolerances and specifications carefully at the outset, then consider how each stage of manufacture affects the next. This helps identify issues early, maintain consistency and keep projects moving efficiently.

Our customers have access to people who understand the work, can make practical decisions and adapt when requirements change.

For us, quality is part of the way the job is planned, manufactured and completed from the start.

40+ years of experience

Our Heritage

The engineering heritage behind Bramley Aerospace brings together more than 85 years of combined engineering and manufacturing experience from the former SFM Technology and Bramley Engineering.

Somerset Fruit Machinery (SFM) began in 1985, designing and manufacturing specialist equipment from its Martock site. Over the following four decades, the team, machinery and technical capability developed to support increasingly complex manufacturing requirements, including advanced engineering and aerospace work.

Bramley Engineering was founded in 1979, and the family-run business specialises in crane, lifting and mechanical engineering, with experience across design, fabrication, bespoke equipment and complex project delivery.

In 2026, Bramley Precision Aerospace Ltd was established to acquire the assets, goodwill and intellectual property of SFM Technology Ltd, to carry knowledge, equipment and experience in Martock forward combined with the engineering experience of the Bramley Engineering management team.

Today, Bramley Aerospace builds on both backgrounds, combining long-standing manufacturing knowledge with wider engineering expertise, while continuing to invest in its people, equipment and processes.
