Compressed Air in Neath Port Talbot

Neath Port Talbot, as the name suggests, grew around a port. Located on the Swansea Bay, there is historical evidence that it was already in use as a port, although not a busy one, by medieval times.

In and around any port, you’ll find that air compression plays a critical role. Logistics, for example, rely on compressed air. Within a warehouse, compressed air often powers the equipment that moves things around.

Clients that we are proud to work with

The Tata steelworks in Neath Port Talbot remains one of the largest in Europe. Producing nearly five million tonnes of steel every year, there’s a good chance that just by looking around you will see things that contain steel that came from the plant.

Control Gear has supported Tata’s operations for many years by providing fluid power products. Although steel might be seen as a heavy industry, it still requires a high-quality compressor to ensure that impurities and imperfections are not introduced to their finished products.

Control Gear’s servicing ensures that Tata’s compressors operate at the highest standard, despite the demands a massive steelworks places on them.

Neath Port Talbot: From Coal to Modern Manufacturing with Control Gear

Neath Port Talbot has been at the heart of the Industrial Revolution, particularly with its significant contributions to the coal industry in Wales. This robust infrastructure paved the way for the establishment and growth of industries such as copper smelting, tin plating, and ironworks, positioning Neath Port Talbot as a pivotal coal mining hub.

The region’s illustrious heritage can be traced back to the 16th Century when the port of Neath was developed, catalyzing the coal industry’s rapid expansion. By 1584, copper smelting was initiated at Aberdulais Tin Works, soon followed by iron smelting and corn milling. The momentum continued with the establishment of a tin plate works in 1830 and the founding of Neath Abbey Ironworks in 1792.
