A high-tech wire manufacturer is celebrating a record year in North America as it continues to grow in the energy, automotive and space sectors.
Brierley Hill-based Alloy Wire International (AWI), which also has a manufacturing site at Batley in Yorkshire, says it has in the past year sent over £3.5m of round, flat and profile wire to customers in North America.
It works with partner Davidon Alloys, of Rhode Island, which says demand is continuing to grow in the USA and Canada.
AWI makes round, flat and profile wire in 62 “exotic alloys” such as Inconel, Monel, Hastelloy, Nimonic and Waspaloy. It supplies 6,000 customers across 15 different market sectors and says that despite global supply chain disruption it is still delivering material within three weeks of orders being placed. The group is also investing £1m in its manufacturing plants.
Oliver Smith, sales executive at Alloy Wire International, said: “Our partnership works really well, as we share similar values of manufacturing quality, unrivalled delivery times and exceptional customer service.
“By working together, we now supply more than £3.5m of wire to customers in this territory every year – the best performance in our history.
“We’ve just been over there for a series of meetings and it’s always a pleasure spending time with our partners Davidon Alloys, who has been representing us in Canada and the US for 23 years now.
“It gives us the perfect opportunity to meet customers and, importantly, share new advancements in the sector and buying trends that can sometimes be a lot different to back home in the UK.”
Davidon Alloys’ Michelle Nichols said: “It’s always great to have the UK guys over and spend time in their company, soaking up the latest developments from AWI. I know from chatting to our US customers that they really appreciate in-depth, face-to-face technical conversations with the team from the factory.”
