APF 2026 AND THE FENCING VILLAGE HEADING FOR A RECORD ATTENDANCE
ESTATE®WIRE RETURNS TO MOLE VALLEY FARMERS
Following the closure of ArcelorMittal Sheffield in July last year, Mole Valley Farmers has worked closely with the ArcelorMittal Group to successfully reintroduce the Estate®WIRE and 2Life® brands to the UK market.
Mole Valley Farmers has enjoyed a strong partnership with ArcelorMittal for over a decade. The company’s commitment to high-quality manufacturing and excellent service aligns closely with our own promise to provide the farming community with trusted, high-performance products.
Michael Julian, Agri Product Manager at Mole Valley Farmers, said:
“The cessation of Estate®WIRE production in Sheffield last year was a significant loss. As a well-respected brand within the farming and fencing sector, its absence caused considerable concern across the industry.”
Estate®WIRE has been a leading name in agricultural fencing for nearly 40 years and since April, Mole Valley Farmers has been proud to bring this trusted brand back to its members and Farmer Shareholders.
“We’re delighted that Estate®WIRE products are once again available in our yards,” added Michael. “They are manufactured by ArcelorMittal using the same machinery, raw material routes, specifications and quality standards previously used in Sheffield. This ensures complete continuity in performance and reliability.”
A key benefit of the Estate®WIRE range lies in its use of ArcelorMittal’s 2Life® wire technology. Unlike standard galvanised fencing, which relies on zinc-only coatings, 2Life® wire features a zinc-aluminium coating that significantly enhances corrosion resistance. While zinc provides sacrificial protection to the steel, aluminium helps slow the corrosion process, extending the lifespan of the wire.
This advanced coating delivers fencing products that last at least twice as long as standard galvanised alternatives. Reflecting this confidence in performance, ArcelorMittal offers a 20-year corrosion guarantee on the Estate®WIRE range, which customers can activate upon installation.
Michael concluded:
“Estate®WIRE is a premium, high-quality product and we are very pleased to have it firmly back in our range. Our customers have truly missed it and it’s fantastic that, through our partnership with ArcelorMittal, we’ve been able to bring it back to them.”
