Catnic Build it Better

Since its formation in 1969, Catnic has pioneered steel lintel design for house building and become the market leader in the UK. It is now THE brand name in steel lintels. Part of the Tata group, Catnic is based in South Wales and has established itself as a multinational manufacturer, supplying lintels, plastering accessories and metalwork to 60 countries from three European manufacturing sites

 Over half a century of Catnic innovation

Catnic has been instrumental in helping to first establish, and then develop, lintel standards in the UK. We were the first company to develop steel lintels and gain both BBA certification and the Kitemark for our products. Following that, we were the first manufacturer to affix the CE mark to our product range, and to achieve the BES 6001 standard for responsible sourcing.

Along with our commitment to being a responsible steel supplier, Catnic is focused on leading in carbon neutral steel production. We recognise the impact that our operations can have on the environment, and we are seeking to minimise that impact through a programme of continuous improvement.

Catnic aims to provide customers with transparent information to help them achieve sustainable developments. Steel lintels are durable and can be reused or recycled at the end of a building’s life, and Catnic continues to seek ways in which our products can provide social and environmental benefits.
