Thank you for attending our plant Open Days on Tuesday. 

On Tuesday 12 September most of the Joseph Ash Galvanizing plants opened their doors to visitors, as part of a Galvanizing Industry Open Day, in conjunction with the Galvanizers Association.

The day was a great success, as we welcomed over 150 people to our various plants.

Visitors included existing customers, prospective customers, specifiers, architects, and people who were interested in the process of hot dip galvanizing and steel finishing treatments.

We showed how steel is dipped into zinc as part of the galvanization process, and explained the importance of the various galvanizing processes, including venting and drainage.

We were also pleased to be able to chat face-to-face with some of our customers, as well as enjoy some amazing catering.

Thank you to everyone who visited our various Joseph Ash Galvanizing plants. It was a great day!
