All the tooling for manufacturing architectural hinges is designed and made at Cooke Brothers by Phoenix Tooling & Development, the company’s own tooling division and technology centre which is approved to ISO 9001 and now working to QSA TE 9000 standards. Investment in the latest computer integrated design through to production equipment and systems allows machining to be optimised over any time, day or night, to speed output, reduce lead-times and raise accuracy standards.

Phoenix Tooling & Development also provides a complete precision tool making service. From the original concept through to the prototype stage, it supplies a wide, external customer base that includes the automotive, electrical, chemical and white goods industries.
