History

Malcolm Jordan & John Harding founded M.J Sections Ltd in 1979. The company set out to manufacture rolled sections, starting with one rolling mill and a workforce of just two, M (Malcolm) & J (John).

With an honest, hard work ethic & a pro-active approach to customer requirements, long lasting relationships were formed and the company has grown organically over the decades.

M.J Sections has expanded it’s product capabilities and now offers a diverse range of sheet metal fabrications and assemblies, conventional machining, EDM and more recently adding vacuum heat treatment to their capabilities.

M.J Sections is well known for investing in the future and additional product capabilities and acquisitions are always being explored.
