Metaltech plan to continue investing in the key areas of:

• Vacuum and plasma technology
• Induction Hardening
• Controlled atmosphere heat treatments

Through ongoing R&D the Company will continue to be innovative to improve its overall competitiveness in the market place. At Metaltech we feel that innovation not only applies to the development of new technologies or processes but also to the enhancement of process efficiencies in existing working procedures, by making energy reductions, by improving product quality and by protecting the equipment.

In short our goals are to optimise and improve on technology, economic and environmental basis. Electricity and gas are critical to any heat treatment processes and energy prices have continually increased well above market expectations. It is our philosophy to continue to pursue energy efficiency programmes to attempt to mitigate some of the rising power costs to provide our customers with a cost-effective heat treatment service. In spite of these challenging circumstances we will continue to do everything possible to meet our customers requirements through cost containment, reliability and high quality of service that has become synonymous with the name of Metaltech.
