large alloy range
The range of alloys that we produce is large, our strategy being to meet the needs of our customers and so there isn’t a material that we won’t find a way to manufacture.
Scott Precision Wire Ltd moved to the new factory in 2012 after having been in our previous Dallimore Road factory for 50 years.
