Shropshire Stainless and Aluminium is celebrating 15 years of trading as a multi-metal stockholder.

Launched in summer 2006 by local businessman Gary James, Shropshire Stainless and Aluminium (SSA), a market leader in the supply and processing of aluminium & stainless steel, has gone from strength to strength from its beginnings as a single branch in Shrewsbury to now running four branches across the UK.

Following many successful years of trading and huge growth, the company opened its second branch in Yate, Bristol, shortly followed by the opening of SSA’s newest branch based in Northern Ireland. The new base strengthened SSA’s capacity and ability to serve the Northern Ireland market.

More recently, SSA opened an additional sales office in Bolton to focus on sales in northern mainland Britain.

In December 2016, the company moved its head office operation to its new, larger premises based in Harlescott Lane, Shrewsbury. The new head office and distribution depot allowed SSA to increase capacity to meet customer demand.

Throughout the last few years, the company has continued to invest in its saws and equipment and is now home to ten plate saws and nine bar saws across its branches.

SSA stocks a comprehensive range of grades in stainless steel, aluminium, engineering plastics, brass, copper and bronze products and having its own transport fleet offering a next day delivery across the UK and Ireland.

Managing Director, Gary James, said: “I am delighted that we are celebrating SSA’s 15^th year. Each year has seen us go from strength to strength, even through recent turbulent times SSA has continued to go the extra mile for our customers.

“With high levels of quality European stock, we believe that we are excellently placed to serve our customers reliably and efficiently. Since our incorporation in 2006, SSA’s philosophy has been to supply our products more efficiently, and cost effectively than any of our competitors.

“The last 15 years has seen us grow from the first small branch in Shrewsbury to a large head office operation plus three branches strategically placed around the UK to serve our customers’ needs.

“I look forward to continuing to work closely with our customers, providing them with exceptional products and service.”
