Analysts

Company Description

Severfield is the UK's largest structural steel provider and one of the biggest in Europe. It also has a JV in India with JSW Steel, India's largest steel producer. Severfield's main activities are: the design of steel structures for buildings and infrastructure; fabrication of steel sections and plate; and the erection of the steel elements within larger projects. The group was formed in 1978 and undertook a major restructuring in 2013. In 2019 the group acquired privately-owned Harry Peers & Co, which serves the nuclear, process and power industries, for up to ?25m. DAM Structures, which is exposed to rail, was acquired in February 2021 for up to ?27m.

Investment Summary

We believe that Severfield should benefit from: growth markets such as infrastructure, including HS2, logistics and datacentres; its leading market position; and its strong balance sheet, which could open up further market opportunities. Severfield has developed a more active strategy of leading rather than following demand, with the group investing in design capabilities and manufacturing capacity tailored to potentially long-term, structural growth sectors such as datacentres, logistics and infrastructure, where clients are more dependent on security of delivery than, say, basic offices and retail. Europe and the potentially huge Indian market are examples of the group's geographical strategy.
