Nestled just off Junction 1 of the M54, in the heart of the Black Country – a region synonymous with the Industrial Revolution – John Scott Works continues a long-standing tradition of British manufacturing innovation. As a key player within the Profielnorm Group, John Scott Works serves the UK and Irish markets, delivering bespoke mezzanine floor solutions with a distinctive edge: the whole process completely in-house – from personal advice and 3D design to professional installation.
The Profielnorm Group has been manufacturing mezzanine floors for nearly 30 years. John Scott Works, with its Wolverhampton-based facility, upholds this legacy by combining advanced technology with an enduring commitment to quality, efficiency, and trust. In a logistics sector defined by precision and adaptability, their model of fully self-sufficient manufacturing offers a compelling solution for modern warehousing and distribution environments.
Innovation Anchored in Engineering
What sets John Scott Works apart is its ability to design, manufacture, and install mezzanine floors entirely under one roof. From the initial concept to final installation, every element is controlled in-house – ensuring speed, accuracy, and consistent quality. The backbone of this efficiency lies in state-of-the-art manufacturing technologies, including semi- and full-automated systems, cold roll forming, and precision robotic welding.
Unlike traditional hot-rolled systems, John Scott Works employs a cold-formed structural approach. This modern method not only improves design flexibility and aesthetic appeal, but also delivers cost-efficiency and reduced environmental impact. The result is a mezzanine floor solution tailored for the 21st century – versatile enough to support today’s agile supply chains, and robust enough to stand the test of time.
As Managing Director Jon Lewis explains, “Manufacturing has been the beating heart of the Black Country since the 18th century. Within our Wolverhampton plant, we’ve invested in semi-automatic machines and robotics to ensure it stays that way. With a product designed and built for today’s logistics environment, we truly set ourselves apart from the rest.”
Designed for Speed and Scalability
At the core of the factory’s operations are custom-designed welding robots, developed in collaboration with leading European manufacturers. These machines have been purpose-built to enhance production capacity while maintaining stringent quality standards.
Elsewhere on the production floor, the rhythmic hum of punching presses and cutting machines speaks to a facility in constant motion. Cold-formed main and secondary beams – critical to the structural integrity of the mezzanine floors – are precisely cut and assembled to tight specifications. This continuous flow from raw materials to finished product is what enables John Scott Works to offer industry-leading turnaround times.
A recent investment further bolsters this capacity. The introduction of a new high-speed saw marks a major step forward in productivity, offering cutting speeds of up to 120m per minute and a 60-degree cutting range. With an 8-metre outfeed and large bundle capacity, this addition ensures that even the most complex mezzanine floor projects can be delivered with minimal lead times.
Sustainability Through Smart Manufacturing
In an industry increasingly focused on its ecological impact, John Scott Works exemplifies sustainability through its lean manufacturing approach. By optimising internal operations and minimising dependence on external suppliers, the company effectively reduces transportation emissions and material waste. With the production of over 14 miles of profile each week, even slight improvements in efficiency can lead to substantial reductions in carbon emissions.
Moreover, John Scott Works holds ISO 9001, 14001, and 45001 certifications, underpinning its commitment to quality management, environmental performance, and occupational health and safety. These aren’t just badges – they’re part of a broader philosophy of responsible manufacturing that meets the evolving expectations of customers and regulatory bodies alike.
Building More Than Mezzanine Floors
While technology and efficiency are key, the company’s ethos goes deeper. At its core, John Scott Works is about Building Trust – both literally and figuratively. “We are Builders,” says Jon Lewis. “Yes, we build mezzanine floors, but we also build relationships, build capability, and build for the future.”
This philosophy is evident in the company’s long-term approach. As a family-owned business, John Scott Works places a premium on reliability, customer service, and lasting partnerships. Customers aren’t just purchasing a structure – they’re investing in a relationship rooted in transparency, accountability, and shared success.
John Scott Works provides essential clarity and control in the often intricate processes of logistics and retail, whether it involves a logistics provider enhancing warehouse capacity or a retailer aiming to maximise storage efficiency. By taking on the roles of designer, manufacturer, and installer, the company streamlines the supply chain and removes the coordination challenges, that frequently arise in multi-vendor construction projects.
Looking Ahead: IMHX 2025 and Beyond
With demand for flexible, high-quality storage solutions on the rise, John Scott Works is poised for continued growth. As part of that trajectory, the company will exhibit at IMHX 2025, the UK’s premier logistics event, held at Birmingham’s NEC from 9-11 September. Visitors can find John Scott Works at stand B79, where the team will be showcasing the full potential of modern mezzanine systems and discussing tailored solutions for businesses across the logistics spectrum.
For those eager to learn more ahead of the show, the company welcomes direct enquiries, via phone or email. Quotes and initial consultations can also be requested through their website: www.johnscottworks.co.uk. In an industry where every square metre counts and timelines are tight, John Scott Works demonstrates how forward-thinking and a customer-first philosophy can deliver real value. Backed by decades of experience, cutting-edge technology, and a commitment to trust, they’re not just raising floors – they’re raising expectations.
