A Sheffield firm which helps manufacture\u00a0everything from radiators to jet engines is preparing for a big expansion.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Straaltechniek UK is\u00a0a major cog in the nation\u2019s metalworking industry, serving numerous blue chip clients in the rail, maritime and aerospace sectors, among other fields.<\/span><\/p>\n

The engineering company\u00a0has grown from humble beginnings operating out of converted cow sheds more than 20 years ago to employing more than 40 staff across its purpose-built HQ at\u00a0Valley Works, on Grange Lane, in Shiregreen\u00a0and its second site in the West Midlands.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s about to get even bigger, as it extends its offices in Sheffield, moves its machine shop to a larger unit and invests in new machinery and facilities, with work on the expansion set to begin in the next few weeks.<\/span><\/p>\n

The firm is also setting up a new subcontracting facility within its factory, offering\u00a0shot blasting and shot peening services.<\/span><\/p>\n

To celebrate the expansion, bosses invited Sheffield\u2019s Master Cutler\u00a0Nicholas Cragg for a tour to learn more about the work they do.<\/span><\/p>\n

Straaltechniek is involved in the \u2018surface preparation\u2019 of metals, which could involve anything from getting a truck’s bodywork ready for the paint to be applied to prepping brake pads so the rubber can be securely attached.<\/span><\/p>\n

It provides the equipment for this crucial stage in the manufacturing process to some big hitters, which it is not at liberty to name, but current projects include supplying to companies\u00a0making tank wheels and jet engines.<\/span><\/p>\n

Managing director Andy Allen, who is also a Freeman of the Company of Cutlers in Hallamshire, said: \u201cIt’s been a real honour and a\u00a0privilege to have the Master Cutler visit us.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOur company is going through some really\u00a0exciting times at the moment and the future is looking very bright despite the uncertainty\u00a0hanging over our country.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u00a0are very proud of everything we\u2019ve achieved together as a team, collecting a long list of happy customer references\u00a0along the way. I\u2019ve always said that hard work and dedication will pay off.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
