Barrett Steel’s strip and alloys business has made the move into its own independent, larger premises of 20,000 sq ft to provide its customers with greater stockholdings and faster metals processing. The steel supplier’s move has created a more streamlined service for customers, allowing stock items to be picked and packed within one hour from order. New racking is capable of holding more than 1000 tonnes of material, and entire bays are dedicated to different material grades for quality purposes.
Part of Barrett Engineering Steels, Barrett Strip and Alloys (BS&A) is a major specialist material supplier of stainless steel, duplexes, titanium and nickel alloys in sheet and strip to the gasket manufacturing industry worldwide.
Other customers include high integrity specialist fabricators and manufacturers of platforms, process and refinery equipment, pressure vessels, reactors, columns, scrubbers, production plant, filtration and heat exchangers. BS&A also offers offshore pipeline protection and high-grade metallic banding and is a specialist suppler to other nickel alloy stockists.
Paul Massey, Branch Director, is delighted with the move: “Barrett Strip and Alloys is keen to provide customers with the best possible service, and by moving to larger premises the strip and alloys business can do just that.
“It’s an exciting time for this expanding business. We currently have bases in Bradford and Houston, Texas and are planning for a greater presence in the Far East later in the year. This will cement Barrett Strip and Alloys presence globally as one of the world’s largest independent suppliers to the gasket manufacturing industry.”
Barrett Strip and Alloys incorporates cutting facilities, including guillotine, plasma, laser, water jet and coil slitting, and sheet and plate processing in thicknesses from 0.5mm to 5.0mm. Coil slitting facilities are available for nickel alloys and stainless coil in thicknesses from 0.05mm to 5.0mm and in widths from 1.98mm to 1270mm.
