Contract manufacturing specialist MTL Group, will create 50 jobs in new premises situated in the heart of the Steel region in South Yorkshire, thanks to a grant from Regional Development Agency Yorkshire Forward. Following a management buyout in 2006, the business has more than doubled in size and announced on 14 June 2010 that it is relocating from its current premises to a new 300,000 square feet advanced manufacturing facility in Rotherham, which will house the company’s state of the art
equipment and will provide space for continued expansion.
MTL Group, which laser cuts, bends, machines and fabricates steel to customer requirements has a global blue chip customer base including BAE, Caterpillar, Babcock and Renault Truck Defence. High profile projects include the supply of armoured steel for increasing IED protection on British Army Vehicles in Afghanistan and key structural components for offshore windfarms.
The company has recently signed its largest ever export contract worth GBP4m to supply components to a German defence and aerospace group. It has expanded its export markets beyond Europe to North Africa, Asia, the Middle East and North America. MTL Group has differentiated itself from its competitors by investing over GBP6m in world class equipment over the last four years including a Big-Bed Bevel Laser which is a 20metre machine and a 640 tonne Robot Press, the largest of its kind in the world. Over GBP5m is to be invested in the infrastructure of the new site to give a high efficiency, low energy facility.
