Leeds-based Kloeckner Metals UK, a leading multi-metals processing supplier, has been awarded a multi-million pound contract to produce embedment sleeves for the Hinkley Point C power station.

The company has recently been certified with Fit 4 Nuclear status (F4N) which is a testament to its commitment to continuously improve operational standards in line with nuclear requirements.

This newly awarded contract will see Kloeckner Metals supply processed and coated embedment sleeves to Tier One contractor Bylor – a Laing O’Rourke and Bouygues TP joint venture. Two local South West businesses will assist Kloeckner Metals UK with the coating of the embedment sleeves.

Peter Whiting, CEO of Kloeckner Metals UK, said: “Bylor’s decision to select Kloeckner as its supplier is a huge endorsement for our capabilities and management expertise. We are extremely excited to be part of such an important national project.”
