As a leader in the processing of stainless coil products, Stainless Band has provided stainless coil that has been used in a diverse range of applications including gasket making, tube finning, thermal insulation jacketing, heat exchangers and much more.
With a worldwide customer base and a product range that is available in various forms, finishes and dressings combined and its commitment to continually invest in new processing capabilities, has seen Stainless Band go from strength to strength.
In late 2019 Stainless Band purchased a new slitting line that has the ability to slit up to 1250mm wide coil x 0.20 – 3.00mm thick all done in-house in grades 304 (1.4301), 316L (1.4404), 321 (1.4541) and 430 (1.4016). It can also offer wide coil up to 1250mm wide material with a PE or PVC coating one side or both sides depending on customer requirements in 200kg to 4000kg coils.
The high demand for oscillated products, created the need for a third oscillating winding line with inline TIG welding to join the coils. This unique line can produce 50kg to 600kg coils increasing the Stainless Bands capacity by 40 tonnes per month.
2020 has seen further investment, with the installation of a new precision Brace 1A and a standard Brace 2A slitting line for “fast track” orders with an impressive three day delivery time.
Coming soon is a new cut to length line capable of 500mm wide and up to 3mm thickness that will further enhance the in-house processing offering.
The new manufacturing capabilities enable the Stainless Band service centre to process customers’ orders within even shorter lead times. This will enhance its reputation for the shortest lead times with the highest quality due to its rigorous in-house testing procedures.
With over 800 metric tonnes of stainless steel stock, Stainless Band is well placed to promise customers that they will do all they can to assist with orders and delivery times, especially during these challenging times.
So, what is the future for Stainless Band – Jonathan Hanson MD says “Stainless Band like every other organisation in the world is no stranger to how difficult the last few months have been, both on an economic and humanitarian level. As a company, we have always approached challenging times in the same way as any other days work, with determination to provide the right quality product, in the best timeframe possible and at a fair price.
Like many businesses, our customers’ success is vital to our business. The strong relationships we have with our customers is founded on us behaving with integrity, and by that, I mean doing and delivering what we promise. I am very proud of the Stainless Band team who during the last few months have been keen to be in work and making sure our customers could keep their production moving. Naturally, we took every step necessary to keep our team safe, and these measures are still in place.
Our business plan is to continue with our planned growth, listen to our customers and invest in machinery and people to meet our customers ever-changing needs.”
