KI Metals Case Study
A subsidiary of Indian firm K.I.Group, KI Metals has had significant success in generating an online consumer base in the UK, securing 10,000 orders in its first year. The company has ambitious plans to grow its customer network further in the future.
Why the West Midlands?
Located at the heart of the UK, the West Midlands is at the centre of the country’s national transport network. With 90% of the UK population within a four-hour drive of Birmingham, the city was the right fit for KI Metals’ sales ambitions.
From our base in Birmingham, we can cover the whole of the country with ease. We’re close to the national motorway network, allowing us to reach customers at every corner of the UK.
Since moving to the city, the firm has been able to grow its client base into multiple industries, thanks to the diversity of the region’s local supply chain.
The West Midlands has the largest concentration of companies operating in transport technologies, Medtech, energy storage, automotive and advanced engineering, offering significant opportunities for businesses in the materials sector to grow their operations.
Historically the centre of UK manufacturing, the region remains an influential hub of activity today, recording the highest number of trade exports outside of London and the South East in 2018.
The West Midlands’ heritage in manufacturing and materials production was a major reason for choosing to set up here. Its reputation as a leading centre for innovation and production is well-known around the world, and it has been incredibly exciting to count ourselves among the region’s established pool of industrial brands.
