PHILOSOPHY

Our strength and philosophy
Manufacturing
Machines & cars
Design
ALL THREE / One engineer
WE DON’T JUST COPY. WE RE-ENGINEER.

Not just fabrication.
We start from the design.

One engineer with all three — the knowledge, the skill and the experience — designs the part.

Machining something and designing it to fit the car are two different skills.
Our founder is both a designer and a working craftsman, holding manufacturing, mechanical and design knowledge in one head.
Nothing gets lost in handoff.

RESTORE
Bring it back

From a worn original or a fragment, measured and rebuilt to its original form.

IMPROVE
Make it work better

Where the original design failed, we revisit the material and method, and can swap in modern materials.

REFINE
Make it look right

For visible parts like point covers, we take design orders and consider how it looks on the car.

That’s why we can get a car that stopped running back on the road.
Our philosophy

PHILOSOPHYWhat we believe

A machine stopped by a single missing part. We bring that part back with today’s technology, and bring the machine back to life.
We turn ideas into things people can actually try.
SqueezeWorks is a maker-hero, creating new value through imagination and shop-floor engineering.

A machine that won’t run because one part can’t be sourced.
A product that can’t be attempted because it can’t be made.
We’ve met a lot of people in that position.
Our founder, both a designer and a working craftsman, believed his craft could help them.
Turning an idea into a form.
Bringing a classic car’s parts back.
Not just making, but adding design to the making.
That’s our strength.

The strength of Japanese manufacturing is written into the products this country has already made.<br>We see passing that skill on to the next generation as our job, and we have built the business around design and engineering.<br>Making something from nothing is a Japanese tradition.<br>By combining that tradition with the technology that has advanced it, we want to make Japanese manufacturing stronger still.<br>That is the spirit we work in.

Our service is not simply making a part and shipping it. It is solving the problem you came to us with.<br>“The car that would not run, runs.” Getting you there, and seeing what that means to you, is why we make things.

Design makes it worth more. Isn’t that the best part?

We squeeze knowledge out of manufacturing, squeeze the design down, and produce the part.
We specialise in the design and engineering that happens before anything gets made.

“CAN YOU MAKE THIS?”

A drawing, a sketch, or just an idea.
One photo is enough for us to look.
