Pre-coated steels offer great benefits in the manufacturing process. They shorten the process time from raw material to finished product and their pleasing aesthetic appearance enhances the final product to provide added value. We offer a range of metallic electro-plated steels and organically coated steels. All are manufactured to your particular specification.
 

Carbon steels are used in applications where tensile strength and hardness are required such as in the manufacture of springs. The high carbon grades are suitable for heat treatment and tempering. We are UK agents for Lamincer of Spain – part of KHT group.
