Impact of COVID-19 on the metal parts supply chain

Struggling to get fabricated metal parts due to COVID-19? You’re not alone.

As a critical part of the economy, manufacturing has been allowed to continue throughout the UK. Some companies have even helped to combat the virus by turning their attention to essential materials – such as PPE (personal protective equipment), medical devices, ventilators and more.

But that doesn’t mean they haven’t been affected by the pandemic.

COVID-19 has led to significant issues with global supply. In fact, in a recent survey – conducted by MC Machinery – supply was said to be the area of manufacturing most severely affected by coronavirus. Companies are struggling to source materials via their usual overseas channels. And, as a result, they’ve had no choice but to rethink their suppliers and start to look elsewhere.

Special Metals – a perfect new partner for metal fabrication services

If you’ve been affected in this way, and are seeking a new partner for metal parts, we can help.

Special Metals has remained open throughout the lockdown. All of our services are completed in-house. Which, crucially, means we have full control over the fabrication process and can maintain our exceptional standards – whilst also adhering to strict social distancing measures.

In line with government guidance, we’ve had to adapt our site slightly – to help maintain the safety of both our employees and clients. But, apart from a few simple changes to the way we work as a team, it’s been business as usual. We’re able to continue our services and can provide support for companies, just like yours – who have seen a huge disruption to their usual supply chain.

Whether you’re a new or existing customer, looking for a short- or long-term solution, we can assist you during these difficult times – and help to get your production line back on track.
