A specialist steel fabrication company has opened a new assembly facility at a South Wales business park as it prepares for growth in the aviation sector.
Pro Steel Engineering has expanded its offsite fabrication facilities with a 22,000 sq ft unit at Mamhilad Park Estate.
The 140-acre business park is owned and managed by Johnsey Estates UK Limited.
The industrial unit will accommodate the assembly of steel-clad frames for Heathrow Airport. These will be used as security check points for contractors and staff entering the main airfield.
It marks Pro Steel Engineering’s second project for Heathrow Airport, with it having already completed a new virtual control facility there.
The extension of Terminal 2 at Manchester Airport along with SCALE, the new attraction at the Principality Stadium, and ICC Wales’s 22 tonne steel Welsh dragon, are amongst other client projects.
Pro Steel Engineering co-founder, director Richard Selby MBE, said: “With a team of 50, we are now starting to ramp-up manufacturing for this latest contract with Heathrow. The new unit at Mamhilad provides us with an ideal opportunity to co-locate close to our main facility in Pontypool, ensuring continuity for our staff along with the same good access for transportation.”
James Crawford, chief executive of Johnsey Estates, said: “As an important local employer, Pro Steel Engineering is firmly embedded within our local economy and is known for delivering high-profile projects throughout the UK. It’s testament to our flexible approach to space and terms plus our location that the company has chosen Mamhilad for their expansion.”
