Saint-Gobain Drives Sustainability with Holwell Foundry Asset Clearance

Overview

Saint-Gobain PAM UK has appointed NCM to manage the complete clearance of its Holwell Works Foundry facility in Melton Mowbray. NCM will also oversee the asset recovery of the entire foundry complex.

A Legacy of Industry and Sustainability

The Holwell foundry was established in the 1870s and has been a significant part of Melton Mowbray’s industrial heritage for over 150 years thanks to its success in manufacturing access covers and gully gratings for the road, water and utility industries. Despite its achievements, the site’s closure follows a production transfer to their Saint-Gobain PAM sister facility at Blénod, France – a move that will halve PAM UK’s road ironwork carbon emissions and help their customers reach their net zero ambitions.

Under this landmark contract, NCM Auctions will oversee:

• Complete site clearance with adherence to environmental and safety standards
• Optimised asset recovery through a strategic online auction

Amy Rutherford, Partnership Lead at NCM Auctions, commented:

“This partnership with Saint-Gobain PAM highlights our expertise in industrial site clearances. By focusing on sustainability, we not only recover asset value but also contribute to the circular economy, benefiting local communities and businesses.”

The online auction will feature an extensive selection of specialist industrial machinery and equipment, including:

• Overhead cranes and weigh-bridges
• Lathes and milling machines
