UNITED KINGDOM / AGILITYPR.NEWS / February 03, 2026 / Suncombe has today announced the expansion of its multi-material certified welding capability, giving organisations across sectors such as Pharmaceuticals, BioPharma, Healthcare and Research greater flexibility to select the most appropriate materials across an expanded range of high-purity and chemically demanding process duties. These additional materials are available across the range of Suncombe cleaning, decontamination and processing Systems and skid modules.

The enhanced capability enables Suncombe to optimise high-purity process systems—predominantly metallic, with complementary PVDF and advanced plastic options—to address varying chemical, thermal, mechanical, hygienic, and regulatory requirements, while maintaining full traceability and fully documented fabrication, inspection, and certification records.

The announcement reflects increasing client need for crevice-free, high-integrity process systems that can be tailored to a broader spectrum of duties, spanning American Society of Mechanical Engineers: Bioprocessing Equipment (ASME BPE) aligned metallic platforms and chemically resistant polymer systems, without compromising cleanability, validation, traceability, documentation, or long-term reliability.

Built on more than 60 years of stainless steel process expertise, Suncombe’s core capability remains predominantly metallic, including 316/316L stainless steel, duplex alloys, and titanium, manufactured in line with ASME BPE requirements. In response to evolving client needs, this capability has been extended to include PVDF and other high-performance plastics for applications requiring enhanced chemical resistance.

“Our core capability is the engineering and delivery of high-integrity stainless steel and higher alloy process systems,” said Steve Overton, Director at Suncombe. “By extending our certified multi-material capability in response to real process demands, we’re giving clients greater confidence and flexibility to select the right material for the job.”

This extended capability is supported by Suncombe’s established quality management systems, certified welding procedures, and in-house expertise across mechanical design, materials science, and hygienic engineering. 

By offering integrated fabrication in both metallic and polymer materials, Suncombe enables clients to address challenging chemical, corrosion, and lifecycle requirements without fragmenting responsibility across multiple suppliers. The approach supports consistent design philosophy, simplified validation, and reduced project risk, while maintaining the same high standards of cleanability, robustness, and regulatory compliance expected across Suncombe’s full portfolio of sanitary process, cleaning, and decontamination solutions.
