It is believed that the acquisition will establish Maher as Europe’s premier stockist and distributor of a wider range of nickel and copper based alloys. The move will enable customers in many sectors including aerospace and defence, to deal with one supplier across a broader product range, making the alloy purchasing process simpler and quicker.

It specialises in high performance metals from raw material to finished parts, which perform well in hostile, highly corrosive environments.
