Cebron Motors in Holly Hall are part of the same firm looking after the fleet of the company and outside contractors and employ around 12 people at the garage, adjacent to the main factory.
The factory near Dudley is involved in cold rolling and cutting steel among its operations. and was founded almost 80 years ago - it was taken over from the Brown family by new owners the private equity group HLD on April 1 after making a pre-tax loss of £1.42mn, according to its most recent financial results.
The employees of the garage are still working, but say so far they have been 'kept in the dark' over their futures and claim suppliers of parts have not been paid recently.
