Wire manufacturer upgrades machinery with £200k investment
Alloy Wire International (AWI) has recently upgraded its machinery with a £200,000 investment to increase production capacity and anticipate a £2m boost in sales.
AWI, known for manufacturing nickel alloy wire, bars, and wire rope has installed two single-hole blocks, a 3-hole dry drawing machine, and a 4-spindle spooler. The equipment is now fully operational at AWI’s manufacturing facility in Dudley.
These upgrades allow AWI to shorten lead times and handle larger orders for clients in the automotive, aerospace, defence, oil and gas, and medical sectors.
Additionally, AWI has improved its tensile testing machinery to speed up pre-job trials and improve customer support throughout the firm’s projects.
“Our success is all about making sure we are ahead of the competition when it comes to manufacturing agility, quality and delivery performance. The latter already sees us produce wire in three weeks, nobody else can do that. This investment reinforces this capability, as well as giving us nearly £2m of additional capacity to work with.”
