Processing

Our objective is to secure a competitive advantage through a combination of factors including inventory and processing. Group status and excellent relations with suppliers have enabled us to build a level and range of inventory that is unmatched by any of our direct competitors.

Covering plate and bar in its various high nickel content forms, we are able to supply material from stock, in the largest dimensions available.

To add further value, our group status has enabled us to gather more processing capacity under one roof than is currently available anywhere else in the UK, and we are still investing.

This combination of inventory and processing is a truly world-class option for all of our customers.
