We are building a portfolio of companies which have their own specialisms but which complement each other and the group’s offering. Purchasing Alutech has been an important step in diversifying into fresh markets, acquiring new technologies and increasing our order books with additional revenue.
“The Alutech team have established a fantastic reputation across the industry which we aim to continue going forward. We’ve enjoyed a long relationship with them for over 20 years and are looking forward to continuing working with them in the immediate term to ensure continuity of service for its loyal customers. The current Alutech team retains invaluable and specialist experience to the business which we’re hoping will enhance and complement the expertise of our group.
