Corus Expands Steel Business With New Athlone Base

Corus the international steel company has expanded the growing Ireland business, with the opening of a new centre in Athlone.

Corus, which is Ireland’s leading steel supplier, with three existing sites in Lisburn, Dublin and Cork, is making its unrivalled range of structural and strip steel products more accessible to customers in the west of Ireland.

Johan Casparsson, Regional Manager for the new Athlone base, said: “Customers in the Midlands/West of Ireland now have access to our extensive range of structural and strip steel products, with a very big range of structural lengths. Our major strip processing plant in Lisburn, which has recently benefited from a multi-million euro investment, is able to process and supply the highest quality cut-to-order strip steel,” he added. “We also hold an extensive stock of standard sizes, which can be delivered even more quickly.”


“Our new centre in Athlone will give customers access to the stock range and technical expertise of Europe’s largest steel producer and processor, together with a local team to help advise and problem-solve for customers. With our commitment to local customer service, we will be able to be highly responsive to our customers steel requirements and tight deadlines.”
