Who are we?
Crighton is a premium, high value metals engineering company which works long term with customers to build mutually beneficial relationships that enhance business for everyone.
The business of Crighton is to help our customers be more profitable by applying creativity, ingenuity and analytical thinking – based on collaboration and experience – to turn ideas into products that are cost-efficient to manufacture, precise in performance and easy to market.
Established in 1980, the company is led by a hands-on management team of engineers who have individually worked their way up from the shop floor of Crighton to accumulate several decades of experience and service between them.
What we believe in
Our passion is “Smart Solutions – Healthy Profits” for all our stakeholders, including customers, staff and suppliers.
We believe in the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the human spirit, and we live our lives and our business in the spirit of ‘can do’. Anything is possible when we apply optimism, intelligence and creativity to the challenge. It is what we thrive on and it is what we apply ourselves to as individuals, as a team and as a company.
We are, in a nutshell, in the business of “solving difficult problems in original and creative ways” that help our customers be more profitable and efficient.
Why we are different
Crighton’s motto “Engineering Creativity Everyday” is less of a motto and more of a cultural statement.
As a company of men and women – most of whom have worked our way up from the shop floor – we understand better than most the nuts and bolts of our work, but we also believe that actively applying the “power of creative imagination” to our work is what sets up apart.
