W. Corbett & Co. (“Corbetts”) was established in 1860 and is the largest independent hot dip galvanizer in the United Kingdom. Headquartered in Telford in the Midlands, Corbetts galvanizes for UK manufacturing businesses across a broad range of sectors, including structural steel, cable management and transportation.
The business has stood the test of time, having been in operation for over 150 years. Corbetts’ long-lasting success can be attributed to its reputation for providing customers with high-grade products, as well as its excellent service levels, built on fast turnaround times and flexible delivery options.
Ardenton’s partnership with Corbetts began in April 2017, and represented its first investment in the UK. Since then, Ardenton has worked closely with the management team to identify and implement new growth initiatives. Post-investment highlights include the deepening of one of the galvanizing kettles, which has increased production capacity, and a significant expansion of the sales team.
