Plant focus: Spotlight on Hull
The Joseph Ash Group takes immense pride in its expansive network of plants in the United Kingdom, from the northern Yorkshire region to southern county of Kent. Here, we turn our attention to our facility in Yorkshire, Premier Galvanizing Hull, to showcase its exceptional capabilities and modern amenities.
History of Premier Galvanizing Hull
Premier Galvanizing’s first site was built in Hull, East Yorkshire, back in the year 2000. Premier Galvanizing Hull proudly serviced the hot dip galvanizing needs of steel fabricators in the North East, Teesside, West Yorkshire, South Yorkshire, North Nottinghamshire, East Yorkshire and Humberside.
The development of the site came after an extensive increase in the popularity of galvanizing in Yorkshire during the 19th century. Hull experienced significant growth in the galvanizing sector thanks to its thriving maritime trade, so was vital in protecting marine steel such as anchor chains, fittings, and marine equipment. Situated on the River Humber with a bustling port, Hull became a central hub for importing and exporting goods.
Today, Premier Galvanizing Hull specialises in structural steel, architectural steel, and general fabrications.
