Midlands metals stockist makes £200,000 capital investment

metalweb Ltd News and PR from metalweb Ltd - Published 23 May 2013 metalweb, one of the UK’s leading stockists of specialist metals, including aluminium and stainless steels, has made a major commitment to its future by investing over £200,000 in cutting-edge machinery.
metalweb, which delivers raw material products for leading companies across aerospace, defence and many other hi-tech industries, has enhanced its customer offer by purchasing a new plate saw, steel bar saw and extraction unit. This investment is anticipated to deliver considerable efficiencies both primarily within metalwebÂ’s main operation in Birmingham and subsidiary improvements across the Group.

The Schelling FM8 plate saw offers maximum precision and is capable of cutting aluminium plate up to 150mm thick (6” approximately). The Danobat DS 3A steel saw has the ability to cut through stainless steel round (or square) bar of up to 330mm thick (13” approximately), whilst the WWC extraction unit enables waste material to be efficiently taken from two production machines, ensuring all metal fragmentation is removed from the clean air.

Each of the three arrivals into metalwebÂ’s Birmingham warehouse has been purchased in-line with the GroupÂ’s commitment to minimising environmental impact.

Bruce Maggs, Managing Director, metalweb, said: “This investment marks the latest stage in our programme of improving quality and efficiency throughout metalweb. It also marks the next step in our plan for growth and provides a major increase in our capacity.

“Our parent (RSAC) company’s sound financial base allows us to commit to this level of expenditure, and we expect to start seeing the benefits of our new factory acquisitions almost immediately.”
