Plant focus: Spotlight on Corby
The Joseph Ash Group takes pride in its 9 UK galvanizing plants, from Hull in the North to Medway in the South. Here, we shine the spotlight on one of our two Premier Galvanizing plants, Premier Galvanizing Corby.
Overview of Premier Galvanizing Corby
In July 2002, Premier Galvanizing opened up a second plant based in Corby, Northamptonshire following rapid business growth. Premier Galvanizing Corby is in a region of England historically tied to the growth and development of steel and ironworks during the Industrial Revolution. Corby was once best known for its iron and steel industry, which shaped the growth of the town and influenced all aspects of life, from the turn of the 20th century until the closure of the steelworks in the 1980s.
