PKF have been appointed as administrators for the firm. The accountancy team has already made a quarter of the manufacturer's 30 employees redundant in an attempt to cut costs. However, they are now seeking a buyer to take the company forward.

The company had been in existence at its former location for 126 years after Peter Gabriel founded a small brass foundry in AB Row. By its centenary in 1984 it had amassed a workforce of 200 as business became increasingly strong.
