Steel giant Severfield has discontinued its Modular Solutions business after concluding the division was “non-core” to the group’s future strategy. It specialised in designing and manufacturing modular steel components and frames for the construction industry. But its performance worsened in the current financial year amid tougher trading conditions across the modular sector, Severfield said. Modular firm failures since last April include Jans Offsite Solutions, Elements (Europe), Kingston Modular Systems and, most notably, Merit in November 2025. The closure of Severfield Modular Solutions does not include Construction Metal Forming, a cold-rolled steel joint venture with South Wales-based CMF, which will continue to operate independently.
