Avocet Steel Strip Limited was established in 1996. From the outset the philosophy was to keep it simple. Utilising our experience of many years in the steel and metals industry, our mission is to supply our customers with their essential strategic metal products.
Our heritage in the steel industry has taught us that forming close partnership relationships with some of the globe’s most prestigious steel producers can bring great benefits to us and our customers. We have diversified our product range to include other metals such as stainless steels, nickel alloys, titanium, aluminium and copper. Our core business is in precision strip, precision wire, bright bars, tubes and foils for battery applications.
Manufactured to specification, designed to perform how our customers want it to perform, delivered in the way that is most efficient and cost effective for them.
On time, quality products - right first time.
Strip Steel or cold rolled strip is a steel product that's produced from a hot rolled strip that has been pickled. The coil is then reduced by a single stand cold roll steel mill straight after or reversing mill or in a tandem mill consisting of several single stands in a series.
Avocet Precision Metals has over the last 3 years become the metals supplier of choice for lithium and sodium ion battery production. Avocet's battery tabs, copper & aluminium foils, and aluminium laminates have become the bench mark for both quality and price in Europe. Avocets ability to supply small quantities of battery tabs and foils for R&D purposes from Universities to start up cell producers throughout Europe, as well as larger quantities for the growing market of medium and higher volume manufacturers, has made a valuable contribution to the overall security of the European supply chain for battery cell manufacture.
Battery tabs though individually small are not insignificant. They are a vital component for pouch cells including the next generation of solid state cell systems. Avocet can offer a fully bespoke cell tab service for cell manufacturers. In house technical expertise allows the Avocet team to advise on tab specifications so that they can be manufactured to achieve the technical outcomes that are required.
We are exclusive UK agents for all our partners and they have one thing in common. They are amongst the worlds best producers of precision metal products.
