The Cobra Story

The Cobra Group brand is a family run business born in the manufacture of stainless steel exhausts and diversified into manufacturing. What started as small fabrication work for the local community of businesses has scaled into the manufacturing company you see today.
Our heritage of manufacturing spans over five decades with a proven track record of a commitment to continuous improvement and investment in new technology. These developments have elevated the Cobra Sport brand to the position it holds in the market today, allowing the Cobra Group to give a more direct focus towards Cobra Manufacturing, supplying a wider range of engineering solutions to a larger audience.
This commitment to development has resulted in the company being awarded the “Made In Sheffield” mark, which is a symbol of excellence in manufacturing and is recognised worldwide.
Cobra Manufacturing’s range of services demonstrate the highest quality of manufacturing. Each product is hand-made in England and in-house expertise ensures that all Cobra Manufacturing products are engineered to the highest tolerances ensuring a quality finish, perfect usability and longevity. 
Cobra Manufacturing’s production facilities are geared up to fabricating products in high volume, not only for themselves but also for clients such as JCB, Subaru UK, Isuzu UK, Westfield and Ginetta Cars, to name a few. This does not preclude working for clients on an individual ‘one-off’ basis for proto-type or custom developments whether that be for small batch visions or high-volume distribution.
A quality product first time, unrivalled attention to detail and service that knows no boundaries is the promise that Cobra Manufacturing will deliver.
