All high-performance engineering steel stock is held in our award winning, purpose-built warehouse facility, located at our Headquarters in Oldbury, West Midlands. The new KASTO system is the tallest in the UK and one of the largest in Europe. With an average picking time of 6mins, orders can be picked and despatched the same day.

With 20 specialist cutting stations located onsite and next to our High Rack Storage facility materials can be cut and despatched to individual customer requirements quickly and efficiently. Using both bi-metal and carbide blades gives us the ability to cut basic stainless steels up to the hardest of nickel grade alloys. Our saws have various cutting capabilities with the largest saw being able to cut up to a maximum of 3000mm cutting width. Full batch traceability is guaranteed and hard stamping, etching and labelling facilities are all available.

A number of specialist CNC machines are also located in our dedicated on-site machine shop area giving us the capability to produce machine finished components from our extensive stock range upon request. Capabilities range from standard operations to bespoke machining operations in line with client drawings.

To add flexibility and service to our customers we run a 2-shift system with highly trained operatives to enable us to react quickly to customer demands for urgent items.

Our specialist laboratory facility located at our UK Head Office and warehouse facility in Oldbury, allows the rapid testing of samples to your specifications. For example, chemical analysis, tensile, charpy and micro examination can all be done onsite.

Additive manufacturing, popularly known as 3D printing, is one of the most innovative and revolutionary manufacturing methods we see today. At voestalpine, we are laying the foundation for innovation in additive manufacturing by developing new metal powders that can be adapted to specific applications. Equipped with the knowledge of our material experts, we are a frontrunner in this revolutionary technology.

ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING

So far, there have been limited materials to choose from when it comes to printing metal parts as they have mostly been developed to be easy to print, rather than at a specification needed for more demanding applications. We see the opportunity this new technology brings and the possibilities for optimising the materials. So are developing alloys with focus on the application to bring maximum added value to the user while still being able to be printed.
