New job boost at hi-tech Castings Technology after multi-million pound Sheffield move
“We’re proud to be investing in talent and technology to meet growing demand from global industries.”
A hi-tech castings company is creating 20 jobs in an £18m move into Sheffield.
Castings Technology has been handed the keys to what it says will become one of the world's largest titanium foundries.
The company is installing a vacuum arc remelting furnace, heat treatment furnace and the latest CNC machining and 3D printing technology at the site at Tinsley Industrial Estate.
As well as 20 new jobs in production, quality, technical and commercial, it says ‘many more’ roles will be created in the supply chain
Castings Technology is relocating from the Advanced Manufacturing Park in Rotherham to a ‘significantly larger’ facility on Shepcote Lane, Sheffield.
Apprentice William Oakley, 18, accepted the keys on behalf of the company.
Richard Cook, managing director, said: “Congratulations to William for taking delivery of the keys to what will become one of the world’s largest titanium foundries here in South Yorkshire.
“We’re proud to be investing in talent and technology to meet growing demand from global industries.”
The firm makes components in titanium, steel and other alloys for global aerospace, defence, oil and gas and power generation customers.
Bosses bought the firm from Sheffield University in 2021. In July last year it said sales had more than trebled and staff numbers risen from 58 to 100.
At the time, chairman, Kevin Parkin said it was the right time to move and buy their own equipment.
The new site, formerly a Whitbread Brewery bottling plant, has undergone a multi-million pound refurbishment by the landlord ahead of Castings Technology's occupation.
