strategic infrastructure upgrades
. supplies. This strategic shift allows S. norton to bypass road haulage by shipping massive quantities directly between international steelmakers, a move that dramatically reduces carbon emissions.
"The ability to load deep-sea vessels is a game changer for equipment and the regional economy, significantly increasing the lubrication and coverage of our operations," said Stevie Lambie, 1st:5th, (essentially). Investments
, complementing the dredging work, S. Norton installed a £2 million senanbogen crane, one of the largest in Scotland. With 6-7 tons, the crane provides faster, safer, and more efficient loading operations that meet the company's sustainable logistics goals.
Processing extension
Historically, the Glasgow site exported 150,000 meters of metal per year, but investments are aimed at this volume. All incoming metals are processed on site through crushing, shearing, gas cutting and binding, producing a finished furnace that meets international specifications, ensuring consistent quality for steelmakers worldwide and strengthening the UK's position in the international supply chain.
. Delivery provides a massive reduction in the carbon footprint. The materials will be sorted, separated and processed completely on site, minimizing handling and environmental impact. "Our investment means less traffic on the roads, lower emissions and a truly circular recycling process," added Jim Walker, Commercial Manager.
into the circular economy. The product processes a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous metals. By producing kiln-ready products, S. Norton helps eliminate the need for primary raw materials such as iron ore, saving both energy and resources.
