If Rotherham Council gives the go-ahead later this month, work could start on not just one but all four new developments that will keep the Sheffield University-run AMRC at the cutting edge of hi-tech manufacturing research.
Manufacturing Research Centre, due to start in September, just nine months after it was sanctioned by the Labour Government.
Researchers are already carrying out work for the Nuclear AMRC, but next year they could be moving into a facility that dwarfs the original AMRC building and the £15 million, 4,600 sq metre (49,125 sq ft) ‘Factory of the Future’,
which houses the AMRC. The AMRC itself is set to almost double in size with the addition of a 3,000 sq metre (32,290 sq ft) extension to be occupied by the AMRC Composite Centre.
AMRC research director, Professor Keith Ridgway, research director at the University of Sheffield AMRC with Boeing: “The AMRC is already a globally recognised, and much imitated, centre of excellence for manufacturing research.
These new facilities will take us to the next level.”

Belprin Works in Beverley, which has been used for container manufacture since 1976, together with Catfoss (1979).
This year the Catfoss Group, led by the very able Andrew Foreman, highly experienced Yorkshire entrepreneur and chairman of Catfoss group, purchased Yorkshire Marine Containers.
The YMCL factories are capable of producing up to the equivalent of 200-230 TEU (twenty foot equivalent container units) of dry freight specials per week including tanks, flatracks, swapbodies, opentops, waste containers, defence containers, offshore containers, modular
buildings and specials.
Most of YMCL’s production is designed in-house using the latest computer aided design equipment, industry 3D-design modelling and finite element analysis. The company has developed and refined many of the industry’s most successful
and innovative designs. Recent product developments include the design and development of the Sea Containers’ patented SeaCell, the world’s first marine container able to fit two standard sized pallets side by side, while still fitting within the guides of a container ship.
The world’s first top lift / laden stackable 13.6m curtainside Swapbody, and the introduction of a new 31,000 Lt. capacity swap tank.
