Alloy Wire International, which employs 31 people across manufacturing sites in the Black Country and Yorkshire, broke through the £11m barrier in 2018 and immediately pushed the button on the acquisition of 560 mm single block and 200 mm multi-block drawing machines.
These installations will help increase capacity and will ensure AWI continues to deliver its industry-leading 3-week lead times, so crucial for customers in the automotive, aerospace, nuclear and oil and gas sectors.
There have also been a number of infrastructure improvements, including internal and external refurbishments, new floors in the flat wire rolling department and, following consultation with employees, a re-organization of the manufacturing plant to deliver further production efficiencies.
Alloy Wire International makes round, flat and profile wire in a range of material, with more than 60 currently available to choose from, each offering superior corrosion resistance and/or excellent performance at high temperatures.
