Company Overview
Hy-Ten, established in 1958 and celebrating its 65th anniversary in 2023, is a prominent stockist and fabricator of concrete reinforcement bar, mesh, and accessories. The Hy-Ten Group, headquartered in Richmond, Surrey, U.K., operates with an annual turnover of £210 million. With a nationwide network of 14 manufacturing centres, Hy-Ten provides an innovative, rapid, and cost-effective service to building and civil engineering contractors across the UK, Eire, and internationally. Its extensive reach allows for global design, fabrication, and supply capabilities.
Reinforcement Products and Services
The company offers a comprehensive range of reinforcement solutions, including steel reinforcement bar, mesh, and accessories, alongside cold drawn reinforcement coil and wire in various grades and sizes (e.g., 14mm and 18mm grade 500B). A key offering is the Bamtec Slab Reinforcement system, a sophisticated solution combining finite element analysis and robotic manufacturing. This system delivers prefabricated reinforcement carpets, reducing material usage by 15-25% and site fixing costs by up to 75% compared to conventional methods. Hy-Ten also provides HT Couplers, friction-welded mechanical connections for deformed steel reinforcing bars. These CARES-approved couplers offer advantages in quality, cost, and lead time, featuring CNC-machined threads that eliminate the need for torque wrenches during installation. Additionally, the HT Conti Rack serves as an alternative continuity system.
Gabions and Structural Steel Fabrications
Beyond reinforcement, Hy-Ten specializes in gabion solutions for land reinforcement, soil retention, and architectural applications, offering technical support and design services. The company also fabricates structural steel and general steel items, including RSJs, UBs, UCs, and hollow sections. It provides a 'just in time' high-speed service, particularly for London and the South, delivering fabricated and coated structural steel within 24-48 hours. Services encompass cutting, drilling, welding, profiling, galvanizing, and shot blasting.
Quality Assurance and Network
Hy-Ten maintains a strong commitment to quality and efficiency, supported by its extensive network of depots and sales offices across the UK and Ireland, including dedicated facilities like Hy-Ten Ireland for mesh production and Central Rebar in Scotland. The company holds numerous certifications, including ISO9001, ISO14001, ISO45001, and CARES BES6001 for responsible sourcing, demonstrating its adherence to high industry standards and sustainable practices. The focus remains on delivering high-quality, low-cost products with quick delivery.
