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 hot dip galvanizing plant based in Corby, Northamptonshire following rapid business growth.
Since then, Premier Galvanizing Corby has been a driving force in the UK steel finishing sector, developed in a region of England historically tied to the growth and development of steel and ironworks during the Industrial Revolution.
Who does Premier Galvanizing Corby serve?
We’re involved throughout the supply chain, from working with architects specifying materials through to sub-contractors and self-employed fabricators – and we can assist with technical knowledge and guidance at all stages.
Strategically located on the Willowbrook Industrial Estate, Premier Galvanizing Corby serves a vast geographical footprint, including but not limited to: London, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Norfolk, Suffolk, Oxford, Derbyshire, Nottingham, Lincolnshire, and Warwickshire.
Bath size
The bath dipping size at Premier Galvanizing Corby is 7.5m (L) x 1.3m (W) x 2.8m (D), able to dip up to 4.8 tonnes. We can also double dip steel up to 13m long, accommodating for larger structures.
We can galvanize a wide range of products, from gates to 100-tonne structural steel projects.
