Henley Group has expanded its offering within the construction industry by investing £2.1M into the launch of a new division, HZS Stainless Steel, based in Wakefield.
The new steelwork division will manufacture stainless steel components such as brackets, restraints, and fixings for GRC (Glass-fibre Reinforced Concrete) projects. The new division complements the Group’s established GRC cladding, stonework, and masonry offering, completed under its Henley Stone Specialists division.
The new HZS division aims to increase efficiency and accuracy for clients by eliminating the need for multiple contractors. Henley Group can now manufacture and install steelwork components needed for projects inhouse, meaning cost and lead time efficiencies for customers, resulting in greater transparency for the end client.
To deliver the offering, Henley Group has acquired a 10,000 sq ft factory in Ossett, strategically placed adjacent to J39 of the M1. The Group has invested £500k on ‘industry-leading’ equipment and machinery, including CNC machines, press brake folding machines and a ‘state-of-the-art’ laser cutter.
