When you need a specialist solution for increasing application performance , or you’re trying to sourcing obsolete products / specifications, or simply looking to re-engineer for cost reductions, MetPlus is our bespoke design and development service.
Designed to meet the advanced needs of our customers, MetPlus brings together our metallurgical expertise, production knowledge and depth of global sourcing to create a steel solution that is specifically designed to dovetail with your applications, production routes and cost.
MetPlus enables us to collaborate on specialist projects right at the very start so we can evaluate, design, source and supply to your very exact requirements.
Ultimately, this service deliveries a product designed to match your individual needs, leading to increased product reliability, greater cost efficiency, reduced failure rates, whilst providing the reassurance of a reliable and repeatable supply route.
Smarter, efficient design engineering at source
MetPlus provides our customers with an alternative, bespoke route to fulfilling their requirements with a range of solutions that address very specific design and performance challenges. You might just be looking for commercial improvements that require more suitable supply sizes and shapes, thereby saving on purchasing costs, or the resequencing of a production route.
Alternatively, you might be looking to address specific performance improvements through improved machinability, a more appropriate production route (annealing) or consistency of machining.
But you may also have very specific challenges that require the modification of an existing grade in production. or need full product design and/or redevelopment of a known or unknown grade. In a nutshell. For specialist applications where enhanced performance is essential, MetPlus brings advanced machining, heat treatments and the wealth of our metallurgical expertise.
Case Studies

Sourcing a steel grade with increased properties in several critical locations within the material, enhanced strength and directional grain structure for optimum rail safety.
