Fusion reinforces the construction industry with sustainable, safe and cost-efficient light steel solutions to achieve outstanding building outcomes
Fusion Steel Framing Unrivalled experience
We offer complete solutions in Light Gauge Steel Frame (LGSF) panellised superstructures covering design, engineering, manufacture, and installation.
Fusion uses DfMA principles and precision engineering to provide high-quality panels offsite for installation onsite. With over 23 years of experience, our team ensures smooth and successful delivery on time, on budget, and to the desired specification.
Rising to meet the significant changes in the construction industry post-Grenfell, various economic conditions and the global pandemic, forward-thinking contractors and clients have turned to Fusion to find a competitive edge.
Our systems provide levels of quality and cost and project timescale certainty only achievable through offsite construction methods. With a wealth of experience in the LGSF industry, including advising several Government and industry bodies, we pride ourselves on helping clients with their projects from conception to completion. Offering an industry-leading service, we know what works and have invested heavily into people, performance and digital engineering technology to further enhance our insight into achieving the best process.

In Partnership Strong Foundations
Since inception in 2000, Fusion has delivered more light steel residential structures than any other European producer, working with some of the most prestigious contractors and developers in the UK construction industry.
A Compelling Partnership
Following a decade of research, development and expansion in 2010, Fusion relocated to Northampton, continuing to grow and strengthening our position as a market leader, investing significantly in the continual development of our digital technology, products, and services through advanced manufacturing and development of our team.
In 2022, Fusion was acquired by leading housebuilder, The Hill Group, providing security for further investment and expansion. Fusion will now focus on designing, manufacturing, and installing structural light steel framing technology in mid-rise developments for apartments, student accommodation, care homes and hotels.
Our manufacturing operation will focus on capital intensive roll-forming and assembly of light steel frames using lean manufacturing processes and procedures. Our advanced manufacturing facility will also have the capability to provide structural kits for volumetric modules, bathroom pods and prefabricated utility cupboards (PUCs) – offering the opportunity for fully integrated structures.
Discover Our History
Fusion has been taking construction offsite into well-managed factories to produce precise, accurate, safe and efficient structures using pre-insulated light gauge steel systems for more than 20 years.
2000
First conceived in 2000 by an Irish Construction Entrepreneur, Fusion began as a means of delivering high-quality housing at speed, with less reliance on labour and the weather.
Since then, Fusion has delivered more light steel residential structures than any other European producer, working with some of the largest contractors and developers in the UK construction industry.
Growing rapidly into a multi-faceted business, Fusion fast became one of the largest manufacturers in Ireland. Investing significantly into learning and development, Fusion learnt how to deliver housing in high volume and technical know-how in fire and acoustics via extensive testing.
Fusion turned its focus from Ireland to the UK, achieving substantial growth.
2009
By 2009, the UK business had 14 concurrent projects running with one UK main contractor alone, with a total project value of over £200m – as in Ireland, the system was once again delivering real strategic advantage.
2010
In 2010, Fusion was acquired by Salvesen Insulated Frames Ltd, relocated to Northampton, and since then, has retained its position at the forefront of the offsite construction sector.
2022
With a further sale and new investment in 2022, Fusion is now enjoying consistent growth reflective of the substantial investment made into the continual development of the business, people, products, and services.
