Had Fab Ltd levels up with STRUMIS

At STRUMIS, we’re proud to partner with companies that share our passion for innovation, efficiency, and growth. One of those companies is Had Fab Ltd, a market leader in the UK’s steel and aluminum fabrication industry with over 25 years of experience delivering cutting-edge solutions in the power, transmission, and distribution sectors.

Had Fab’s commitment to excellence goes beyond fabrication. As their business has grown, so too has their investment in both people and technology. Recently, they welcomed new leadership to strengthen their core divisions and drive business development across energy, infrastructure, and turnkey solutions. This forward-thinking approach made them an ideal fit for STRUMIS’ end-to-end MRP/MIS platform.

When Had Fab set out to upgrade their systems and streamline operations, they turned to STRUMIS to integrate their workflows, improve productivity, and deliver full traceability across departments. After careful analysis of existing solutions, they selected STRUMIS as their centralized business management system—and the results have been transformative.

Proven results across the business

Victoria Toner – Operations Planning and Improvement Manager, Had Fab Ltd
"Since the implementation of STRUMIS at Had Fab Ltd, we have managed to significantly improve our streamline process for manufacturing and this has ultimately reduced man hours in the workshop. STRUMIS has given us the ability to save on materials through its nesting capability. It has enhanced our overall procedures with positive impacts on traceability, time-management and accuracy."

Dennis Gkatzounas – Operations Manager, Had Fab Ltd
"STRUMIS has provided significant improvements in our operations. Since its integration we are able to manage all shop-floor departments, workstations and machines more efficiently including optimized nesting and better utilisation of inventory. The ability to integrate innovations such as barcoding into our manufacturing process has been a huge benefit for us. We now have better control of shop-floor resources, improved capacity planning, greater accuracy in estimates based on previous successfully executed projects and most importantly improvements in our responsiveness to our clients.”

Martin Ward – Financial Controller, Had Fab Ltd
"Since we implemented STRUMIS we have found our day-to-day operations have been significantly more streamlined through using STRUMIS. The link with Tekla provides almost instant importing of our project data. Project material requirements are managed through the nesting and ordering feature within STRUMIS, which also caters for tracking cast/heat numbers and material test certificates to help with CE Marking. Our workshop staff now provide total employee and process time recording using the STRUMIS Production Console. Inventory is managed seamlessly and automatically, and the overall business benefits of investing in technology are clear to see. Our next mini project with the STRUMIS team is introducing Executive Dashboards, which we have seen demonstrated by the STRUMIS technicians and which will add yet another layer of additional project data information specifically for our senior management team.”

At STRUMIS, we’re proud to be part of Had Fab’s journey. Their team’s dedication to improving performance and future-proofing their operations is exactly the kind of partnership we strive for. By integrating STRUMIS with Tekla, Had Fab has achieved a powerful digital transformation—enabling real-time data access, smarter decision-making, and seamless collaboration across the shop floor.

As Jody and his team discovered, STRUMIS isn’t just a software solution—it’s a strategic partner. From inventory labeling to live shop tracking and site-based progress monitoring, STRUMIS helps steel fabricators reduce costs, eliminate waste, and stay focused on what matters: building great structures, profitably.

“It has been wonderful to witness the changes and improvements at Had Fab Ltd over the last couple of years. A company that was already the market leader in their field was, quite rightly, very exacting and demanding with their vision of how best to move their business to the next level from a technology perspective. As account manager for Had Fab Ltd, it gives me great pleasure to see the business benefits they have achieved - and long may their success continue.” Steve Watson, Sales Manager, STRUMIS Ltd
