Metal Fabrication & Assembly
Ongoing investment in state-of-the-art manufacturing equipment and automation technologies is key to our success. We currently operate four 640-tonne CNC press brakes, one of which is equipped with a robotic handling system that can handle parts up to 600 kg and press materials up to 60mm thick. In addition, we have nine robotic welding cells, further enhancing our production capabilities.
This ensures outstanding repeatability, speed, and precision in our welding and fabrication operations. This advanced setup allows MTL to maintain high production volumes while adhering to the highest quality standards. As part of a recent £10m investment in a new 68,000sq ft Advanced Manufacturing Centre, MTL also recently installed a state-of-the-art fully automated welding line for high volume and complex high strength steel structures.
Our core mission is to provide specialist engineering and contract manufacturing services utilising our unique capabilities to add value to our clients’ supply chains. As part of one of Europe’s largest fabrication and contract engineering groups, we operate from our Rotherham-based Head Office and primary manufacturing facilities, boasting 387,000 sq. ft. of factory space set amidst 13 hectares of private land.
MTL Advanced process in excess of 25,000 tonnes of material annually, handling all sizes and types of work in a wide array of materials including carbon steel, aluminium, stainless steel, high strength steel, weathering steel, armoured steel and titanium to name but a few. Our state-of-the-art facilities can effortlessly cut 16m long x 3.2m wide parts, producing complex forming components with up to 0.5 degrees of accuracy using the world’s largest robotic press brake.
Our continued investment of CNC machining centres enables prompt processing of customer requirements. We provide coded welding and fabrication services, accredited to ISO EN 3834 Part 2 status, in our 150,600 sq. ft fabrication space with 17 x modern robotic welding systems. Our customers, spread across the globe, rely on us for our expertise and knowledge of specialist materials such as wear-resistant steels, high-strength steels, and armor plate-manufactured components and fabrications.
