European Profiles Limited

European Profiles Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of RTZ Plc., was established in 1971 to manufacture profiled steel sheets for use in agricultural and light industrial buildings.
Equipped with state of the art equipment and using as raw material precoated steel supplied by British Steel's plant in Gorseinon, European Profiles Limited rapidly achieved a reputation as one of the leading profilers in the U.K.
John Davis, the original Managing Director, who hailed from Nantgaredig, harnessed together a management team from the locality and with help from regional development grants and assistance from local government, the company was able to develop and now has 140 employees with subsidiary companies in Scandanavia and South East Asia.
Twenty-five per cent of total output is now exported and the company enjoys a worldwide reputation for quality and service, due in no small measure to the attitude and commitment .of the workforce which has generally been recruited within the area of Dinefwr and during 19 years of operation has witnessed a very low turnover of staff.
In recent years, European Profiles Limited has been in the forefr.9nt of
forging links between education and industry and has played a leading ole in managing the Dinefwr Compact which has provided many opportunities of work-experience for schoolleavers in the locality. In 1987, European Profiles Limited received the National Training Award for its services to education, and continues to play a leading role in training in Dyfed.
The company also continues to emphasize its commitment to quality and has recently been awarded British Standards Institute registration.
