About Crucial Engineering

We secure your world.

Our journey began in 2016, we set out on a mission to change the automation and aluminium industry – bringing a better choice, quality, and service to clients across West Yorkshire.

We were a four-man band working from a small unit in Pudsey. Since then, we’ve grown quickly. A bigger team, bigger premises and bigger customers.

We’re now one of the leading suppliers of automated access systems, aluminium and glazing solutions for construction, manufacturing and public sites across the north of England and beyond.

And we’re not stopping there.

Our hard work and commitment to high standards hasn’t gone unnoticed – we’ve proud to have picked up a number of awards, including…
