St Helens-based steel stockholder and processor company Hi-Tech Steel Services (HTSS) has seen a £3-million increase in turnover in 2018, a 12 per cent rise on the previous year, as a result of introducing new industrial digital technologies through regional support programme LCR 4.0. Recognising a change in customer demand for a more digital approach to steel processing following an increase in requests for laser cut materials and flat sheet metal products, HTSS approached part-ERDF funded business support programme LCR 4.0.
