Sheffield Forgemasters
Sheffield Forgemasters can trace it's origins back to the early 1700s and through numerous famous names in the steel industry including Vickers, Firth Brown, English Steel and British Steel. The company is now a fully integrated supplier of steel castings and forgings with melt shop, forge, foundry, machine shops as well as extensive R&D and NDT services on a single site in the UK. Markets served include nuclear, defence, offshore oil and gas, power generation, steel processing and pressure vessels to name but a few. The company has produced some of the world's largest cast products up to 350 tonnes and steel forgings of up to 200 tonnes. Hundreds of years experience along with a commitment to new technology, new practices, quality and continuous R&D allows the company to produce complex castings and forgings for almost any application. The company also supplies various grades of raw materials, such as ingot and bar, for further manufacturing. Materials supplied in the UK can be delivered 'hot', where possible, to reduce heating time in furnaces.
