The history of Special Metals Fabrication Ltd (SMF) can be traced back to 1909 when Murex Ltd was founded on the banks of the river Thames at Rainham in Essex.
Murex were pioneers in the extraction and production of refractory metals, especially molybdenum, tungsten, tantalum, niobium andzirconium.
Processes were developed to produce these metals in sheet and rod form so a machine and fabrication shop was set up to show customers how to use and fabricate these new materials.
We like to let our customers know about us and where our company originates from, its always nice to have a little background detail!
