Atkinson Walker, the Sheffield-based saw manufacturer, has expanded its product range to include log saw blades, which are used in the paper goods, wet-wipe and disposable-nappy industries.

The company, which recently celebrated its first anniversary under new ownership with a visit from the Master Cutler, has set up a new manufacturing facility in its historic building on Cotton Mill Row to meet the expected demand for the blades.

Company chairman Nick Alexander says: “Atkinson Walker has provided quality products for generations, and we are delighted to expand our range. There was a gap in the market for a reputable supplier of log saw blades, so we chose to invest in machinery to produce these.”
