Our Story

Established in 1989, Laidlaw Manufacturing has created pieces for many industries and clients, casting them in zinc alloy. This metal can be plated to our customer’s desired finish.

To ensure exclusivity and quality, all our work is done in-house from our factory in Cape Town, South Africa. From conceptualization to the final product. Our items can be electroplated in various finishes from nickel, brass and copper, to a multitude of antique or brushed finishes as well as lacquer paint fills and resin seals. 

Our skilled tradesmen are able to assist you through the design, mastering and manufacturing of the particular item you would like to create. As our product tyoe is diverse, we can cater to your custom needs by uniquely creating your product. If you see a specific item you like in one of our online galleries, please take note of the item and reference it on the quote form. 

Keeping in mind that various items have copyright and may not be reproduced, we will try our best to accommodate you and create a unique design specifically for you.

Our Process

Following receiving artwork, a master is created of the deisgn. This is then put into mould where a production master can be made and replicated. Our products are made through a spin-casting process using molten zinc alloy. Items are cleaned as neccesary and electroplated to the desired metal and finished to the requirements of the client.
