New building. New machines. Same specialists.
Steel Dynamics UK is now operating from its new dedicated stainless steel facility at Altham, Lancashire. And two brand new 20kW fibre lasers are arriving there too.
The building matters because it is laid out around how stainless actually moves – goods-in, stock, cutting, finishing, despatch – with no carbon steel anywhere on site.
The lasers matter for a simpler reason. Two more beds mean an urgent job does not sit in a queue behind somebody else’s production run.
They join multiple waterjets, hi-definition plasma with oxy-fuel, plate saw, multiple CNC machining centres and press braking, all of which have moved been relocated.
