An new tie-up between two businesses in the Black Country and Shropshire is delivering a world-first in glavanising. Fastline Steel Services has signed a multi-million-pound integrated manufacturing agreement with Corbetts the Galvanizers to exclusively use Plant A at its Telford site, guaranteeing that over 15,000 tonnes of perimeter steel fencing will be galvanised there every year. The decision, which creates up to 40 new jobs and safeguards a further 80 more across the two firms, marks a switch from dual sourcing to a more strategic partnership that will deliver increased capacity and shorter lead times.
