UK-based
ASD Ltd has acquired the assets of Atlantic Steel Processing Ltd, based in Birkenhead, Merseyside. This strategic move marks a new growth chapter for ASD, under the umbrella of Hierros Añon SA network, one of the largest mill-independent steel distributors in Europe. With a site at the Port of Liverpool, ASD will enhance its presence in the North West of England and enable cost-effective distribution to the markets in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.
Additionally, ASD will introduce a new product line to its portfolio – de-coiled hot rolled sheets and reversing mill plate. With expanded capability to stock and de-coil 2,500mm wide coils in gauges from 5 to 20mm, ASD becomes the only distributor in Northern Europe with such an extensive capability.
ASD Ltd CEO Peter Whiting said: “The acquisition of the assets of Atlantic Steel Processing Ltd marks a significant milestone for ASD. The strategic location within the Port of Liverpool, combined with our enhanced product range and unique processing capabilities, presents exciting new opportunities. This expansion strengthens our ability to deliver superior service and meet the evolving needs of our customers more effectively.”
SD Ltd has a number of locations throughout the UK, including Leeds, Biddulph, Blackburn, Daventry, Dudley, Edinburgh, and West Thurrock. The company also has a facility in Kidderminster that specialises in organically coated steels.
