Frank Armitt & Son is the chosen service provider for Jaguar/Land Rover company based at Halewood and GM Vauxhall based in Ellesmere Port. The Widnes Steel Store is the designated automotive steel shipment store providing a 24 hour 'just in time' delivery service to these automotive plants. The store is 36,000 square feet and is serviced by six very high class overhead gantry cranes ranging up to 50 tonnes capacity. The atmosphere is dehumidified maintaining an average relative humidity below 55 percent.

The dehumidified store is unique in the North West area and therefore provides a secure atmospheric environment for flat steel products.

When automotive companies desire their stock, the Frank Armitt team will de-can, quality inspect and trim as necessary, then re-band and deliver on the company's own vehicles to the automotive plants.

These vehicles house purpose built trailers with specialist side-aflex protection. This is a high quality operation that has consistently met the ever more rigorous standards of the automotive industry since it commenced in 1993.
