Alloy Heat Treatment Limited, UK, which says that it is the largest subcontractor for aluminum heat treatments in the country, announces that it has received its first order from South Korea. The order is one of several export orders within the past six months, from new customers in France, Germany, Italy, and Poland. The company has attracted up to 15 international clients from all over the world in the past 18 months alone, with products treated ranging from fasteners to landing gear and breaking systems.
The firm’s expertise in the heat treatment of aluminum alloys is complemented by its NADCAP Merit status, something equally responsible for the increase in overseas interest. According to Director of Sales Ian Perks, “We have had a NADCAP accreditation since 2004, but concentrating our efforts very strongly on maintaining it and gaining the Merit status last year has led to us increase the potential customer base we are able to tap into. In addition, we are also listed on approved supplier lists of prime contractors which has attracted additional clients.”
With higher turnovers, the company is now aiming for an increase in growth helped by the expansion in export orders. According to Mr Perks, “If export activities continue the way they have been, we are looking at a very successful year for Alloy Heat Treatment. Plus, we also have a couple of big investments in the pipeline which will enable us to support our ever growing customer base.”
