IMS UK is now trading under the
name of Abraservice UK. This name
change brings the company in line
with the European brand identity
within the group, resulting from the
merger of IMS Group and Jacquet
Metals. Abraservice UK will operate
from its current location in
Birmingham. The legal entity of the
company will remain as IMS UK.

Adrian Hance, divisional director
says: “From an operational stand
point we are the same company, with
the same staff and technical
expertise.”
The new group will be organised
around four brands: IMS for
engineering steels; Stappert for
stainless bars; Jacquet for stainless
quarto plates; and Abraservice for
wear resistant and high yield steels
and components.

Abraservice UK will continue to
supply abrasion resistant and high
yield specialist steels from accredited
European steel mills.
