61 | SME Business Elite Supplement 2020 7 | Q3 2020 An Engineer’s Best Friend As the majority of technical steel suppliers limit themselves by holding only ten to twenty grades of material, Corrosion Resistant Materials Ltd (CRM) is blowing the competition away, offering practically any material an engineer or contractor may need. While the demands of the modern-day steel industry become increasingly challenging, CRM is able to offer a supply chain solution unparalleled by any supplier within the sector. Established in 2015 as a supplier of technical services to companies within the oil and gas, aerospace, Powergen and many more sectors besides, CRM have since ratified their position as one of the first specialist technical materials suppliers of its kind. Supplying nickel, stainless, duplex, super duplex, low alloy, titanium and aluminium grades of material in bar, sheet, plate, tube and pipe form. CRM also offers full technical services such as testing, heat treatment and first stage machining. CRM’s philosophy has not only remained consistent since the company’s inception five years ago but strengthened too. Their mission is simple; to be a one-stop shop for clients that offers a full range of products and services to clients within the UK and across the globe. While many of CRM’s competitors limit themselves by having a concentrated stock of ten to twenty grades of material, CRM stocks and supplies over seventy, fully released to specification. This allows the company to offer full packages to machine shops and end users, meaning CRM has become the supplier of choice for many. Being able to find and supply hard-to-find grades of material and to achieve hard-to-hit specifications is why CRM is leaps and bounds ahead of the competition. Having established a loyal client base, CRM see approximately fifty customers who have developed a relationship with the firm over the years returning each month, making up a large part of business activity. Meanwhile, the reputation for excellence and marketing via online platforms attracts between seven to ten new customers each month. Whether the customer is an old friend of the firm or a new face, they are treated with the most conscientious levels of care. Being a family run operation, the CRM team take pride in delivering exceptional service that places the customer and the supplier at the heart of everything they do. Despite setbacks presented by a decline in Oil and Gas prices and the economic downturn caused by Coronavirus, CRM is positive about the future. The team has doubled in quantity over the last two years, with hopes for more like-minded and enthusiastic people to join the company in the near future. Having taken on two apprentices, CRM is keen to support those who wish to grow a longterm career within the company and also the wider steel industry. While CRM may already be a leader of technical services and materials supplier, they still have big plans for further development. Already exporting to thirty different countries, which accounts for more than 50% of the company’s turnover, CRM is looking to extend this even further over the next twelve months. There is no doubt that exciting developments lie ahead of this ambitious company.
