HUGE Bost VTL68CY installed at Sheffield Forgemasters

Sheffield Forgemasters is the successor to such famous Sheffield names such as Vickers, English Steel, Firth Brown and British Steel. The origins of the company go back to the 1750s. However it was Edward Vickers, a traditional miller owning a water mill on Millsands, close to the centre of Sheffield, together with other members of his and the Naylor family who really set the foundations for the business in 1805. If we jump forward to today, SFM has invested millions of pounds in Bost machine tools via their partner McDowell Machine Tools.
