The University of Strathclyde’s Advanced Forming Research Centre (AFRC), part of the National Manufacturing Institute Scotland, is opening an office in Sheffield. The development will provide local forging and forming houses with easy access to support from the AFRC, which is located near Glasgow Airport in the Advanced Manufacturing Innovation District Scotland.

Supported by Sheffield City Council and operating out of an office on the Olympic Legacy Park, the AFRC’s new base will help South Yorkshire companies tap into the AFRC’s metallurgy capabilities, numerical and analytical process modelling tools, as well as some of the most advanced industry-scale forging and forming equipment in the world. The decision to open its first office outside of Scotland marks a crucial stage in the centre’s evolution as it continues to build strong relationships with the UK forging community.
