Steel Supplier in Coventry

The Midlands has a long tradition of industry, manufacturing and innovation, and Coventry is no exception. Built on medieval wealth from textiles and weaving, Coventry became an industrial powerhouse in the 19th century, first as the epicentre of the ‘bicycle boom’, and then it became the UK’s ‘motor city’ as many of those bicycle makers turned to making motorbikes and cars. The car industry attracted suppliers of components, materials and machine tools. And all these industries and products relied on steel – the metal that made Coventry and still underpins so much of our modern world.

Although much diminished from its peak, Coventry remains a centre for advanced manufacturing, with that sector employing over 40,000 people. Including 12 vehicle plants and 15 R&D centres, Coventry’s engineering legacy continues, as does its demand for steel.
