Expert Hardox® wear plate processing & fabricating

At Hardox® Wearparts Centre Stirling, we strictly adhere to SSAB’s best practices for fabricating Hardox® and Duroxite® plates into parts, delivering wear performance upgrades that can greatly increase your equipment’s service life and production availability.

From single components to full assemblies

In addition to processing steel plates into individual components, our full fabrication shop can weld together partial or full assemblies – so you can get back into production even faster. And since not every component in an assembly needs to be made from abrasion- and impact-resistant grades, we also do profiling and fabricated solutions in mild steel (e.g., S355).
