News: MTL Group secures further orders
Rotherham-based project manufacturing specialist, MTL Group, has secured further orders for its IMPAS perforated Armour system.
The "significant" orders followed a successful showing at the recent Eurosatory 2012 in Paris, the largest exhibition of land defence and security in the world.
MTL's state of the art armour plating system, IMPAS, which stands for Interchangeable Modular Perforated Armour System, will be supplied in kit form for the customer to fit directly onto its vehicle.
Simon Hurst, sales manager for defence at MTL Group, said: "Our customer gave us the challenge to design and produce the kits in a very short period of time to a tight weight and cost budget to satisfy an urgent requirement, due to our large scale production facility and flexible work force we was able to assist the customer and completed the project in time."
The Brinsworth firm stocks and processes in excess of 10,000 tonnes of quenched and tempered steels per year, and is one of the largest stockists and suppliers of armour plate in Europe. They also specialise in blast floors and ballistic armour.
They also offer a specialist added value engineering service for the defence sector where a dedicated team at MTL come together at the design stages, reviewing the customers design and look at alternative processing methods to reduce weight, cost and increase the protection levels.
MTL uses state of the art equipment at their 300,000 sq ft modern manufacturing facility, including the world's largest robot press and robot welding to ensure consistent quality and volume achievement.
One recent project saw an armoured vehicle manufacturer's 8x8 vehicle floor completely redesigned from an original 11 piece fabrication to a one piece pressed component. Developments have also been made on forming thick armoured grade aluminium into "V" shaped sections for blast protection applications.
