ABP to establish steel facility at Cardiff

The two partners will invest approximately £200,000 to establish the facility, which will handle thousands of tonnes of imported steel coil and other steel products from around the world.

The investment includes the purchase of a 25-tonne overhead gantry crane, other steel-handling equipment and a wireless data logging system that will be used to locate steel coils stored in the facility’s 9,000 sq m dockside warehouse.

The facility will also feature a web-based system developed by Dowds that permits customers to track their orders from the point of manufacture through to the final receiver and end user.
