Designed in Britain
Where innovation begins. Every great product starts with a great design. Our engineers use advanced CAD software and design methodologies to transform concepts into reality. Whether you need standard profiles or complex custom solutions, we design with function, performance, and sustainability in mind.
Engineered in Britain
Precision and performance. From concept to implementation, our engineering processes ensure reliability at every stage. Equipped with cutting-edge machinery and strict quality control systems, our teams fine-tune every detail to meet exact specifications, pushing the boundaries of what aluminium can achieve.
Recycled in Britain
A more circular future. We lead the way in aluminium recycling, turning scrap into high-quality extrusions. Our energy-efficient processes minimise waste and carbon emissions, while meeting the highest standards of performance and sustainability.
Cast in Britain
From raw material to billet. Our UK facilities handle melting, melt treatment, grain refining, and casting, transforming molten aluminium into billets ready for extrusion. Our advanced casting technology ensures consistent quality and optimised material properties for demanding applications.
Extruded in Britain
Precision extrusion is at the heart of our operation. With advanced presses and experienced operators, we produce aluminium profiles with tight tolerances and exceptional surface finishes, tailored to your project’s exact needs.
Fabricated in Britain
Precision meets performance. Our fabrication services include CNC machining, bending, cutting, drilling, and welding. We deliver aluminium components that are strong, accurate, and ready to perform in even the most demanding environments.
Anodized in Britain
Durable, more sustainable finishing. Our in-house anodizing facilities offer full control over the process, resulting in corrosion-resistant and visually appealing profiles that meet exact customer specifications. .
Packed and Delivered in Britain
From final inspection to the final mile. Every extrusion is carefully packed using robust methods that protect product integrity. With a UK-based logistics network, we ensure timely and secure deliveries, reducing your risk, lead times, and carbon footprint.
