From Apprenticeship to Leadership

Founded in 2002, Saiston Sheet Metal Ltd, located in East Goscote, Leicester, traces its roots to a deep commitment to quality and service.

The company was established by the current director after a former apprentice in sheet metal fabrication who had started his first business back in 1982. After the liquidation of that company during a financial crisis, he launched Saiston with backing from former suppliers and a clear mission.

He wanted to be the best company to work with and the best company to work for. Today, Saiston began as a small team of family and close colleagues and steadily grew by focusing on smart investment in technology and consistent, high-quality service.

“He wanted to be the best company to work with and the best company to work for.” Saiston Sheet Metal Ltd

Choosing Eagle: A Decision Rooted in Trust and Performance

The move to Eagle Laser came after repeated failures with an older laser system. Frequent jams, head contamination, and unreliable table changes led to costly downtime.

Smooth Installation, Immediate Impact

The machine was installed by Eagle’s engineers from Poland, who also handled removal of the old system. Operators quickly adapted to the new interface, and support has been consistent through UK service partner PW Machine Services and remote connection via Eagle’s MyESP software.

Six months in, the laser still runs on its original lens with no contamination issues, showing a clear improvement compared with the previous machine. With plans to expand into new sectors and facilities, and to add another laser in the near future, Saiston views Eagle not just as a supplier, but as a long-term partner.
