Altrad buying George Roberts

you will actually find that PRESCO were one of the 1st to go to china, what they did do was lie about it and enjoy british prices, for UK product bought from China they absolutely made bundles.

you are so right and Presco were always a pressings company , automotive mainly that ventured into pressed fittings, for a pressed fitting they were good.drop forged was always Burtons.

I hope that the George Roberts alert is correct, they are good to deal with. Would be a real
shame if altrad buy them.
I agree though Dangerus plastic boards are a little pricey!!
But is it a small price to pay....... if Altrad get the grip they are trying to get we could all be F..ked in every way

Best price i ever got on the plastic 13ft was £21.50 per 1000 , anyone get better ?
