Our ethos is simple. Communication, on-time delivery, quality of service, and a can-do attitude.
Thanks to our quality service we're lucky enough to be celebrating 50 years of success in the industry!
Together with highly-skilled engineers and a wide range of services, we quite simply offer a component machining service that’s second to none.
Our full range of services now includes:
More information:
We’ve obtained the environmental management accreditation BS-EN-ISO 14001
We have both ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 Management Accreditation
Our production control software – Progress Plus – is a comprehensive system, integrating administrative and production processes.
Hickinson Engineering realises that focusing on our people’s health and well-being improves employee engagement and productivity. With that we are dedicated to achieving the highest health and safety standards with the approach being one of continuous improvement within all departments.
We use Citation’s Atlas platform for all our Health & Safety and HR requirements.
J Hickinson & Son has a program of recruiting apprentices which has been very successful in bringing new talent into the company and into the industry. Through our commitment to training, the skills of each generation of engineers are passed on to the next, equipping them to meet the challenges of a new industrial environment. Following further recruitment each year we now have several apprentices working at Hickinsons at different stages in their development from 1st year full time college to HNC or HND level. All training is carried out by EKGTA (East Kilbride Group Training Association).
It is important to consider not just the environmental performance during operation but also through manufacture. In a machining factory environment it is essential to deal with effluents and other waste within the manufacturing process. By achieving ISO14001 certification we will be able to clearly demonstrate our commitment to reducing waste and recycling materials where appropriate.
This is a summary of what we do. If you want to know more, give us a call – we’ll be happy to talk you through your options.

we offer a varied assembly service across a wide range of industries.
maximum working envelope 1.6m x 2m x 1.5m
maximum component size: D2m x H1.2m.
offering reassurance that you’ll receive maximum value from the repair process when your equipment returns to operation.
Allows for Automating machining processes, minimising programming times and Increasing productivity. All programs etc are backed up on the cloud to give total peace of mind.
Our NAGEL Honing machine can hone up to 400mm Diameter x 1m in length which is ideal for cylinders, housings etc where tight tolerances and good surface finishes are pre requisites.
ISO 9001:2008 accredited. We offer a thorough ‘in process’
inspection, followed by a full independent inspection before dispatch.

We at J Hickinson & Son are committed to delivering a quality product to exact specifications of our customer, with full certification and traceability to ISO9001 supported by a skilled workforce.
At every stage of manufacturing including administration, purchasing and project engineering to the all-important team who implemented a production run – there is support provided. This is the point at which component quality is determined. Any discrepancies which do arise are dealt with by corrective action and also ‘prevention of recurrence’ action by addressing the root cause of any problems e.g. methods, equipment, information etc. Providing a complete Quality Package.
Company management is dedicated to a continuous appraising and improving process with respect to the quality
system and encourages, by formal and informal training methods, the full understanding and participation of all
company personnel.
The Quality Manual is the premier document of the quality system and its requirements, together with the
requirements of the documents referred to therein, are mandatory on all company personnel.
This is a service we offer to all our clients in all industries within many engineering disciplines. DFM is a key process which allows our customers Designers/Engineers to work closely with our Engineering team to design and engineer a product in order to facilitate the manufacturing process which in turn reduces manufacturing costs.
This is a key process due to the design practise not only focusing on the design aspect of a part but also on the productability. In essence, Design for Manufacture and not Design for Designs sake.
