Makin Metal Powders (UK) Limited
The principal activity of the company in the year under review was that of manufacture and supply of copper and other non-ferrous metal powders, these materials being matched to customer technical specifications in the most consistent and cost-effective manner. Whether a new specification requiring full technical approval, an adaptation or a standard grade from the company product library, each material is manufactured under rigorous quality standards, tests and procedures. Management systems are accredited to ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 and all products are fully REACH compliant. The company is a significant international business and has used its export expertise to grow business relationships in a wide variety of global markets. These relationships are based upon positive collaboration and communication with our customers, both directly with our UK based customer service team and through a network of international agents and distributors, each of which is fully trained in the MMP product range and familiar with applications for each type of powder. The majority of products are produced in a purpose-built manufacturing facility in the North-West of England, but the company utilizes significant additional capability in a new manufacturing centre in Thailand and through other group resources in Asia. The company works with global logistics partners, sales agents and distributors to offer a range of supply chain solutions to customers, dependent upon specific requirements.
