Oxford Engineering provides trusted manufacturing expertise to the nuclear industry, delivering robust, fully compliant components built for demanding operational conditions.

Innovative Engineering for the Nuclear Sector

Nuclear Reactor Core

Active since 1990 in the Nuclear sector, our key supplier status confirms the type of relationship we have developed in this critical sector.

At Oxford Engineering, we proudly continue to expand our footprint in the nuclear sector. With over three decades of experience delivering excellence in this critical industry, we offer an unmatched capability to manufacture both small and large precision components to the highest standards. Our state-of-the-art facility is equipped with advanced multi-axis CNC machining centres—including the MTE 3500RT, Hartford HAS 320 EAY, and Matsuura Cublex 63/PC18, enabling us to produce highly complex components with outstanding accuracy and efficiency. Our diverse equipment portfolio supports turning, milling, fabrication, assembly, and rigorous testing, ensuring we can deliver a full range of nuclear components, from high-shielding packages to complex sub-assemblies.

Our comprehensive documentation procedures are as meticulous as our manufacturing processes, aligning with the stringent requirements of the nuclear industry. Leveraging expertise from other high-criticality sectors, we bring an exceptional level of quality assurance and safety compliance to every project. We hold a Depleted Uranium permit and operate under strict radiation safety protocols, including Radiation Protection Supervisors and secure storage areas.

 

Oxford Engineering’s commitment to excellence was underscored by a recent successful inspection by the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, which audited our manufacturing of High Shielding Packages under the supervision of Croft. Our customer praised our work, stating: “Your staff did an excellent job both in preparation and execution.”

We believe that choosing Oxford Engineering means choosing a partner who prioritizes precision, safety, and the success of your project. We foster long-term relationships built on trust, collaboration, and a shared commitment to the highest quality standards. Let us be the reliable extension of your team, delivering components that meet—and exceed—your nuclear manufacturing needs.

Our success in the medical sector is driven by collaboration and innovation. Working closely with customers from concept through to production, we apply Design for Manufacture to create solutions that are cost-efficient, reliable, and compliant with IEC, ISO, and global medical device standards.

This partnership-led approach has delivered tangible results. We’ve achieved over 15% cost savings for global radiotherapy platforms through strategic redesign, enhanced cryogenic medical systems with leak-free assemblies and 30% faster production cycles, and maintained 100% quality KPIs across life-critical medical device components.
