The video below shows our new Kerf steel profiling machine cutting 430mm thick steel with ease. After seeing “The Beast” cut this thickness, were confident that we will be able to cut 750mm+ in the future if required. What a machine!!

Super salesman Bill Gould is currently on his holidays in the middle east and has sent us a couple of pictures of himself. The one is a real CRACKer…!!

AJS Profiles are continually investing in the best steel profiling and Lumsden grinding machinery available on the market.

Kerf Developments have designed a bespoke steel profiling machine for us to cut really thick steel profiles. We’ve nicknamed the machine “The Beast” and what a beauty she is!!

The video below (Click the blue link) shows the steel profiling machine cutting 300mm thick plate with ease. It has been designed to cut up to 500mm thick but first indications are that it will cut much thicker than this.

As you are all aware, Super salesman Bill Gould is colour blind when it comes to getting dressed! However our new recruit seems to be as bad….

David Humphreys (pictured) has joined AJS Profiles from Midland Steel Profiles. He has a wealth of experience after working in the steel profiling trade for the past 33 years. However, his dress sense leaves a lot to be desired. Joanna Lumley has already asked for her blouse and cardigan back

Factory number 2 now has 2 x 10 tonne cranes installed.

The photos below show the transformation from the empty, roofless factory that we purchased into a fantastic 25,000 sq ft factory with 2 x gas cutting machines, 2 x plasma machines, 2 x lumsden grinding machines and 2 x overhead crane.

The new offices are finally finished – they look the business and we are very happy with them!!

The 2 photographs below show the same factory (unit 12 park rose industrial estate) 60 years apart!!

The previous tenants of our factory were the Birmingham Railway Carriage and Wagon Company. They built magnificent trains and carriages such as the Dining Car 4110 Etoile du Nord and 4095 L’Oriental for the Orient Express (pictured below). They also built tanks and aeroplanes for several wars.

The offices are almost finsished. As you can see from the photos, it has been quite a transformation.All the work should be complete by the end of the month.

Our Xmas party was once again at the Greyhounds and as the photo suggests, a good time was had by all !! Rumours are circulating about the “after party” party… more gossip to follow
