Why Choose HERMEQ?

HERMEQ was founded in the 1980s by Stephen Melhuish. Over the years HERMEQ has grown from a small local steel company into Europe’s leading supplier of temporary fencing, site safety and non-mechanical plant equipment. Through rapid growth and continued investment in manufacturing and logistics, the business has achieved significant industry recognition, including being named Britain’s fourth fastest-growing private company.

The HERMEQ Group - The HERMEQ Group is an international manufacturing and logistics organisation, specialising in construction and site safety equipment and now employs more than 350 people worldwide, supporting customers across multiple international markets. Our group includes HERMEQ Steel, HERMEQ Manufacturing, HERMEQ On-Site (Installation), HERMEQ Haulage and a network of distribution divisions across Europe and North America including HERMEQ GmbH, HERMEQ SAS, HERMEQ UK, HERMEQ IE, HERMEQ BV and HERMEQ LLC.

HERMEQ Steel - At the heart of our business is HERMEQ Steel, our dedicated steel trading, stockholding and processing facility, which allows us to manage raw materials internally for our own manufacturing operations.

Vertical Integration - This manufacturing-led, vertically integrated approach is what sets us apart. By controlling key stages of the supply chain in-house, from raw material sourcing and steel processing through to manufacturing, distribution, and installation, HERMEQ delivers reliable availability, full material traceability and competitive pricing for our products.

Competitive Pricing - By operating from strategically located distribution centres rather than countless depots, we keep our overheads and operating costs as low as possible, which allows us to offer the lowest possible unit prices. This means that on smaller orders, our shipping costs may not always be competitive, however, our bulk-discounted pricing simply can’t be beaten.
