Products + Tools

Karl Hurrell, director and creator behind soon to be launched, revolutionary compact hand-held tape dispenser TapePal, approached European Springs & Pressings Ltd looking for it to solve the final sticking point in his product.

Karl explains: “Most companies I approached turned me away. Only European Springs & Pressings could give us what we needed. Not only did they recognise the potential of the product, they also showed belief in me and took the time to discuss my sketches, refining and engineering them in to designed solutions, creating bespoke tools to deliver a manufacturing solution. The spring ‘finger’ they crafted is singly the most important element of the design and you could say they have completely ‘wrapped up’ the development and production of TapePal.”

Stuart McSheehy, managing director of European Springs & Pressings, says: “Creating bespoke tool making equipment – to manufacture a design solution for a specific pressed metal or wire form element – is quite unique in comparison to other UK spring and pressing manufacturers.”

“What really sets us apart is our ability to take our customers ideas and concepts and engineer them into reality – ready for both low and high volume production. Working with Karl and TapePal has been a pleasure and we’re looking forward to seeing TapePal become the successful business it deserves.”
