Christmas Shutdown 2025
Express Metal Products is nearing the end of the 2025 production cycle.
Our Christmas Production Shutdown methodology has not changed this year, with minimal disruption to our customers expected. Our programming and estimating teams are working with customers to balance the reduced production capacity with our customer’s lead time expectation.
This year we are hoping to squeeze in a full extra preventative maintenance round for all critical infrastructure over the Christmas break.
Express Metal Products will aim to deliver all 2025 orders by COB Thursday 18 December. Pickups and deliveries on Friday 19 December are by appointment only.
Dispatch is likely to close at midday on Friday 19 December 2025.
