A further installation by Kaltenbach at the huge Severfield-Reeve Structures Ltd, Dalton site, helps mark the two companies highly successful 25 year association and brings the current number of active Kaltenbach structural processes throughout the Severfield-Rowen Plc UK Group to an impressive 22 across 4 sites. These comprise, structural sawing, drilling, coping and shot blasting systems.

John Severs, Severfield-Rowen Plc Managing Director, says, “We will continue to take full advantage of Kaltenbach machine tool and processing expertise, as we have done very successfully over the past 25 years, which has helped us become the UK’s leading structural steel contractor. By continuing to work with Kaltenbach we benefit from their undoubted expertise and their technology advances which have had a marked impact on our operating efficiency’.

Severfield-Reeve Structures has grown dramatically from small beginnings as a partnership in 1978 and then a single building at Dalton in 1980 with their first structural line, a Kaltenbach HDM 1300 circular saw. The Dalton site has expanded beyond recognition with 6 huge structural processing lines and additional expansive fabrication, paint and technical facilities over a 50 acre site. The most recent installation at Dalton was another state-of-the-art Kaltenbach HDM1432 structural circular saw and close-coupled KDX1215 3-axis carbide drilling system, the combination of which provides well in excess of a 100% improved process efficiency over the first 1980 installation.

The very latest addition to the 22 operating Kaltenbach process lines throughout the Severfield-Rowen Plc Group is a Kaltenbach HDM1432 structural circular saw and heavy-duty Gietart shot blaster, to be installed at the Atlas Ward Structures Ltd, Sherburn, North Yorkshire site in early 2006.
