The final investment has come from installing a leveller at a cost of £500,000, which will come on-stream in January 2012. This move will help the steel-maker increase supply to clients engaged in manufacturing construction and earth-moving equipment.
The new leveller, a bespoke design by industrial equipment manufacturer Heinrich Georg in conjunction with Tata Steel's research and development team, will be used to supply premium products to manufacturers of forklift truck frames, wheels, agricultural equipment and trailers.
