Charles Hendry, Minister of State for Energy said “MTL Group is a fine example of the engineering excellence that already exists here in the UK and I am delighted that our support has led to the company winning this lucrative contract. The government is committed to helping more British companies to follow MTL Group’s lead.”
MTL Group has worked closely with DECC to increase the UK supply of secondary steelwork for the offshore wind sector. With DECC’s support MTL Group has invested in state of the art machinery that meets the requirements of this growing sector.
“I want the UK to be a leader in the development and demonstration of new technologies for the growing offshore wind sector, and I am keen to see the UK supply chain grow to support this.” added the Minister.
The contract, which is MTL Group’s largest export contract to date, will use all of the company’s processing equipment which includes large format, hi definition plasma & laser cutting, robotic tube cutting, automated robot welding and CNC machining.
Dr Henry Shirman, Managing Director, said “This is a major breakthrough for us in the European offshore wind market. In order to meet the high standards of the offshore sector, MTL Group has undergone the necessary audits to be accredited to supply offshore fabrications”.
And concluded “The other main area our customers are benefiting from is our on-going investment in the latest state of the art equipment offering existing and new customers an enhanced value proposition. This has been well received by our customers in the offshore sector”.
25 MTL employees will be working on the project at the group’s advanced manufacturing facility in Rotherham. Work is due to commence in July 2011 with the final delivery of boat landings to be delivered by March 2012.
