About us
Sherwood Stainless Steel & Aluminium Limited is a privately owned independent company that has been operating since 1990.
Company
The company offers a high quality precision production, finishing and stockholding service to many industries including customers in automotive, construction, rail, lighting and more.
Working with Sherwood means you tap into the strong links we’ve built with many global leading producers of stainless steel and aluminium. Our buying power is unrivalled which adds to our competitive edge in price, service and quality.
Our head office, processing and distribution centre sits on a combined 115,000 sq ft with the main production site on the Science Park in Wolverhampton supported by two additional warehousing units only minutes apart.
History
Sherwood started life when four founding members from the industry came together to start a stainless steel supply and processing business in 1990.
After outgrowing early sites, the business grew to become home to 60,000 sq ft site accommodating stainless steel and aluminium production lines that became hard for others to match.
As customer demand matured, the team added a range of machining, cutting, drilling and punching services – again specifically to be able to meet customer need and keep copycat competitors at arm’s length.
More recently, Sherwood added additional saws, presses and sub assembly lines, before investing in the first of several long length machining lines.
Whilst the flat rolled market has remained important to Sherwood, it is the growth in the aluminium extrusion market that has helped push the company to greater heights.
Resources
Sherwood customers draw on an extensive design and production service. In addition to state of the art CAD and 3D design capability, a fully equipped quality lab helps keep standards high and rejects low.
On the production side, we currently have 11 VMC’s and a Comet T6 along with 9 saws consisting of either fully automatic, manual, single or double headed machining. And in a period of exceptional investment, we’ve also added several long length capability machines.
