Why Choose HERMEQ?

HERMEQ was founded in the 1980s by Stephen Melhuish. Over four decades later, we have grown into one of Europe’s leading suppliers of temporary fencing, site safety and non-mechanical plant equipment. Through sustained growth and continued investment in manufacturing and logistics, HERMEQ has built a strong reputation for scale, reliability and dependable supply across European markets.

The HERMEQ Group – An international manufacturing and logistics organisation specialising in construction and site safety equipment. Today, the group employs more than 350 people worldwide, supporting customers across multiple international markets. Our operations include dedicated steel processing, manufacturing, haulage and on-site installation divisions, alongside a network of distribution businesses across Europe and North America.

HERMEQ Steel – At the core of our manufacturing capability is HERMEQ Steel, our dedicated steel trading, stockholding and processing operation. This allows us to control raw materials internally and maintain consistent quality, traceability and supply across our product range.

Vertical Integration – Our manufacturing-led, vertically integrated model is what sets HERMEQ apart. By controlling key stages of the supply chain in-house — from raw material sourcing and steel processing through to manufacturing, distribution and installation — we deliver dependable availability, full material traceability and consistent performance for our customers.

Competitive Pricing – By operating from strategically located distribution centres rather than fragmented local depots, we keep overheads and operating costs tightly controlled. This structure allows us to offer highly competitive unit pricing, with bulk-discounted pricing that simply can’t be beat.
