The firm has completed 12% more EMS orders in the first half of the year than it did in the whole of 2016, with urgent orders coming from customers in aerospace, nuclear and oil & gas.
Explains operations director Ian Fitzgerald (pictured): “Our EMS’ has been called upon quite often over the past 17 years, just never at the rate that we are seeing at the moment.
“A lot of customers have found that a critical situation has arisen, such as an oil platform urgently needing components to resume production, necessitating the rapid delivery of a nickel alloy wire to avoid mounting production losses running into the tens of thousands of pounds.
“We understand this and have a proven system in place that enables us to quote for the job, manufacture the wire and have it with them very, very quickly. This applies to customers all over the world and not just the UK. In fact, we’ve even delivered to South Korea, Oman and Australia within five days.”
Alloy Wire International makes round, flat, shaped profile and electrical resistance wire in a range of material, with more than 60 currently available to choose from. The company has recently launched its own ‘Wire Finder App’ and translated its website into seven different languages as part of a marketing drive to help customers find the right wire for their applications.
