Welcome to Capricorn Automotive
Welcome to Capricorn Automotive, a leading innovator in the design, engineering, and manufacturing of high precision components.
As a trusted provider of high-performance components for motorsport, automotive, and aerospace applications, we are proud to hold the AS9100 certification—an internationally recognised standard for quality management in the aerospace sector.
capricorn Automotive Ltd started-out back in 1988 as Perfect Bore Ltd specialising in the deep drilling and honing of complex products. It was at this time that the company made itself known for producing cylinder liners and the processing of engine blocks for Formula 1. By the end of the 1990's the company had expanded its expertise into another core area - the production of precision forged pistons.
The company's rapid development at the very top of the motorsport industry culminated shortly afterwards in the construction of a dedicated in-house nickel-ceramic coating system for cylinder liners and the direct-metal coating of aluminium cylinder blocks.
Today, over 20 years later, these core competencies remain at the heart of the business.
Our commitment to excellence is at the core of everything we do. The AS9100 certification reflects our dedication to consistently delivering superior products and services that meet the stringent requirements of the aerospace industry. It ensures that we uphold the highest levels of quality, safety, and reliability, making us a preferred partner for companies seeking precision-engineered components that exceed expectations.
At Capricorn Automotive, we continuously invest in advanced technologies, training, and quality control processes to maintain our AS9100 certification and meet the evolving demands of our clients. Whether it’s for aerospace, motorsport, or niche automotive applications, our AS9100-certified processes guarantee that every product we manufacture meets the highest standards of excellence and performance.
