An eighteen million pounds investment package is enabling Castings Technology to accelerate its steep growth trajectory by moving into new premises in Sheffield, enhancing one of the most advanced foundries in the world and the only commercial titanium facility in the UK.

The company produces specialised investment castings from a range of alloys for some of the most demanding advanced manufacturing companies on the planet.

Currently based on the Advanced Manufacturing Park in Rotherham, the company is moving to its own dedicated 195,000 square foot production facility on Shepcote Lane in Sheffield.

Chairman, Kevin Parkin said: “Whilst continuing to lease the building and equipment from the AMRC was the correct option in 2021 when the management buyout completed, due to our substantial growth, it is now necessary for the company to move to its own, larger premises and with new, world class equipment”.

Castings Technology, which celebrated its centenary in 2023, underwent an MBO in 2021 which saw MD Richard Cook and chairman Kevin Parkin take the reins.

Since then, the company has achieved a 225+ per cent increase in sales and significantly increased its skilled staff to more than one hundred, with an order book that shows no signs of slowing.

When seeking the current investment, the board turned to Kevan Shaw, managing partner of Castle Square Corporate Finance, who was key to the successful MBO, who was able to secure an investment facility of fifteen million pounds from Zachary Asset Holdings for Castings Technology.

The new site, formerly a Whitbread Brewery bottling plant, is undergoing a multi million pound landlord funded refurbishment to enable Castings Technology to install its new equipment. 

A dedicated planning team has been established to monitor, manage, and execute the move.

Much equipment is already on order, due to long lead times, such as a new vacuum arc remelting furnace and heat treatment furnace costing over £6.5m and £1.5m respectively.  

Castings Technology has its own metrology, x-ray, NDT, and metallurgical laboratory on site which complement its world leading processes.

Richard Cook added: “We have developed a strong growth strategy, and we will continue to collaborate with our clients and other institutions to help us improve operational efficiencies. The move delivers a sound platform from which Castings Technology can offer continued supply chain resilience to customers’ future and current programmes.”

The company has had to find new ways of recruiting the best talent and become an employer of choice in the region. It has a sustainable, diverse, and committed workforce and is dedicated to increasing apprenticeship numbers over the coming years.

It is partnering with local schools and the UTC in Sheffield, providing work experience placements and encouraging more interest in manufacturing to develop engineering apprenticeships. It is also a committed partner of the Better Learners, Better Workers scheme run, in conjunction with the company of cutlers in Hallamshire, by Sarah Ward, managing director of Ambition Unlimited.

The new facility is expected to be operational in the second half of 2026.
