Custom Lead Sheet, Plate & Foil

Assemblies and Laminating

Nuclead and Sharp Manufacturing provide 100% fabricated assemblies and sub-assemblies. All metal and aluminum products and weldments are fabricated then assembled with your lead items for a complete assembly. Finished products can be plated, powder coated or painted to any specification and are certified. This means a complete product arrives on your dock, ready for additional sub-Assembly, testing or delivery to your customers.

Nuclead laminates lead sheet or machined lead items to any component per customer specifications. Whether fabricated by us or customer supplied, we laminate all your shielding needs.
