Robert Bion & Co Ltd

Robert Bion & Co Ltd Bion are a leading supplier of bespoke perforated metal and plastic solutions. The business has no repayments to make so it always has money to invest.

Since Robert Bion and Co.’s founding in 1964, the company’s core vision has remained the same, although the market it serves has endured major changes: supply the right products to the right people at the right time.

“Bion’s approach to realising this vision makes for a unique and compelling story”

The business has remained under the same ownership since its inception, which benefits Bion in sev

eral ways:

With no outside shareholders to satisfy, Bion has been able to return its profits to the business to safeguard its future. It is therefore at the forefront of perforating technology. The company has recently acquired new premises – as well as in house degreasing and notching facilities – and it continues to improve its tool-making ability in line with the highest industry standards. Bion is committed to developing its skills, has an expert knowledge base, and continues to function as the UK’s leading bespoke perforator. Perforating is a unique skill that requires specialist machinery and expert knowledge. Bion values its skilled and knowledgeable staff extremely highly because they are the future of the business, and the company boasts excellent staff retention as a result. Our clients get peace of mind knowing that they’ve forged a long and successful business relationship with us, and they are confident that all of our personnel have sound knowledge of the marketplace.

When you think about food processing, perforations might not be the first thing that comes to mind - but they play an important role behind the scenes. 🍽️

From helping with sifting and sorting, through to drying, dehydration, frying and cooking, precision perforated materials help keep processes efficient.

We produce flat, oil-free and burr-free perforated trays for the industry that help customers achieve consistent results while reducing the need for additional finishing processes.

Helping our customers overcome unexpected challenges is all part of the job. 💪

When time is tight, having a supplier that responds quickly can make all the difference.

By working closely with both our customer and their material supplier, we helped keep production moving and delivered the parts when they were needed most - preventing delays further down the supply chain.

No detail too small to check. 🔎

Throughout production, we're always checking and measuring perforations to make sure every detail meets the required specification.

From hole size and shape to pattern accuracy and overall finish, these checks help us maintain the consistency and quality our customers rely on.

The future of manufacturing starts with the next generation of engineers.

We’re passionate about promoting STEM within our local community and giving young people a real insight into engineering.

From working with local schools and our UTC to hosting meaningful work experience placements, we want students to see what life in manufacturing is really like - not just through a classroom, but first-hand on the shop floor.

By sharing our knowledge and experience, we hope to inspire the engineers of tomorrow!

Precision starts with the tooling. 👍

Keeping our tooling design and manufacture in-house gives us the flexibility to create solutions around our customers’ requirements, rather than being limited by standard options.

We can develop new perforation patterns and refine existing tools, and having this capability on-site helps us maintain control over quality, reduce lead times and respond quickly when projects change.

No two perforation projects are the same… and that's exactly how we like it. 💪Different sizes, shapes and materials? Bri...
