Bodycote offers significant advantages to our customers as the only global thermal processing service provider. Through an international network of facilities, Bodycote can effectively utilise a wealth of knowledge, experience and specialist expertise to deliver quality service when and where it is needed.

The network operates from more than 165 facilities, with customers benefitting from Bodycote’s comprehensive range of services across multiple locations. Customers know that if their business expands, Bodycote will have the capability to meet their needs. They recognise that if they broaden their manufacturing footprint, Bodycote will assist them. They know that they can obtain the same process at the same quality standards from multiple locations. Customers understand that Bodycote can operate its facilities more efficiently and reduce their overall impact on the environment, assisting them in achieving climate impact targets.

Such an extensive network brings economies of scale, with technology developed at one location being available globally if the market requires it. Similarly, network utilisation is enhanced by using logistics to put customers’ work into the most effective facility to meet their requirements. Moreover, the network allows Bodycote to specialise in fewer technologies per location, reducing complexity, increasing efficiency and reducing the carbon footprint of our operations.

The Bodycote network has a wealth of technical accreditations, some industryor customer-specific, others more general. Individual operations concentrate on the accreditations suited to their market.
