Processing

As supply partners with our customers, we are able to add value to products through processing - creating items for immediate use.

Hillfoot Multi Metals works closely with our customers to create bespoke solutions to specific requirements or to provide one-off processing to help meet a deadline. We partner with saw manufacturers and blade suppliers to explore new technologies to enhance performance and improve production times. We also work with the technical departments of our major steel suppliers to ensure Hillfoot Multi Metals is the first to know about developments in new grades of steel to aid machining. As a crucial part of the supply chain, we pass this information on to our customers to help reduce production times and improve profitability.
