Walsall-based Majorfax (www.majorfax.co.uk), a leading ferrous and non-ferrous casting specialist, is experiencing strong demand from the rail sector with orders increasing by 64% in the past year.

The company has been manufacturing castings for this sector for over 30 years, and it puts the latest spike in orders down to the £88 billion commitment from Government to invest in rail infrastructure, including HS2 and the London Underground — the greatest investment in over a century according to the UK Rail Supply Group.

Working to customer specifications, Majorfax supplies a range of components for both track and rolling-stock applications and has developed its production capabilities in order to respond to the increased activity in the market.
