Regent Engineering Co (Walsall) Ltd has joined ConeX Portal, one of the UK’s fastest-growing manufacturing communities, as part of its ongoing commitment to strengthening industry collaboration, enhancing supply chain resilience and creating new business opportunities across key industrial sectors. The move aligns with Regent Engineering’s broader growth strategy, which focuses on building stronger relationships with manufacturers, engineers, product developers and supply chain partners operating in aerospace, defence, transport and infrastructure markets. By joining ConeX Portal, the company aims to increase engagement with industry stakeholders while supporting initiatives that encourage innovation, knowledge sharing and long-term collaboration.
Established in 1941, Regent Engineering has developed a strong reputation as one of the Midlands’ most experienced engineering and manufacturing businesses. The company specializes in metal pressings, welded assemblies, fabricated structures, tooling and bespoke engineering solutions for a diverse customer base. Its recent membership of the Midlands Aerospace Alliance further reflects its ambition to expand its presence in high-value manufacturing sectors.
Unlike traditional networking platforms, ConeX Portal is designed to facilitate practical collaboration between businesses. The platform connects manufacturers with potential partners, suppliers and customers while creating opportunities to share expertise, solve operational challenges and identify new projects.
Stuart Whitehouse, Managing Director of Regent Engineering, said the company was attracted to ConeX Portal’s collaborative philosophy and industry-focused approach. “Manufacturing has always relied on strong partnerships, trust and the exchange of expertise,” said Whitehouse. “ConeX Portal brings together organizations that share a commitment to supporting one another, identifying opportunities and strengthening the wider manufacturing community. Those values closely align with our own approach to business.”
Mr Whitehouse noted that supply chain resilience has become an increasingly important priority across multiple sectors, particularly as businesses seek reliable domestic manufacturing partners capable of delivering quality, responsiveness and technical expertise. “Customers are placing greater emphasis on dependable UK-based suppliers,” he said. “ConeX creates an environment where manufacturers can connect, collaborate and combine capabilities to deliver better outcomes for customers and the industry as a whole.”
Regent Engineering’s capabilities include high-volume presswork, robotic welding, fabrication, tooling design and assembly services. The company operates to internationally recognized quality standards and holds ISO 9001, TÜV and EN1090 accreditations. It also manufactures FloorStak®, a modular platform support and levelling system used globally in aerospace maintenance, defence operations, emergency response applications and temporary infrastructure projects. The company believes collaborative industry networks will play an increasingly important role in addressing challenges such as skills shortages, technology adoption and evolving supply chain requirements.
As Regent Engineering continues investing in advanced manufacturing capabilities and expanding its reach within aerospace and defence markets, membership of ConeX Portal is expected to create new opportunities for partnerships, innovation and sustainable growth.
