The history of Sheffield Gauge Plate
Originally trading under the name of Barworth Flockton Ltd, the family-run business as it then existed was sold to the Firth Rixon group in December 1997. Trading under the name Firth Rixon Special Steels Ltd until the buyout of the Ground Flat Stock division in June 2003. So, although Sheffield Gauge Plate is a relatively new company Ground Flat Stock has been produced on our premises for over 40 years!
