🚀 To kick off April, our Industry & Skills Development Manager Rachel Wiffen headed up to Cumbria to visit the team at @capalexuk - a hub of precision and innovation in aluminium extrusion with unique seamless tube and hard alloy extrusion capabilities as well as comprehensive machining facilities and powder coating. At Capalex, every stage of aluminium production is integrated under one roof; from extrusion, heat treatment and machining, to finishing with powder coating. Their flexibility on alloys, tight tolerances, design support, no MOQ, and rapid turnaround capabilities make them a go-to partner for customers ranging from start ups to global manufacturers across sectors like aerospace, automotive and engineering. It was brilliant to catch up with the team, exchange insights and learn more about how Capalex continues to push the boundaries of precision aluminium profiles. Huge thanks to everyone, especially Michael Hewitt-Hulin and Paul Bennett MSOE MIPlantE, for your warm hospitality and for hosting Rachel so generously - collaboration like this strengthens our national aluminium ecosystem! 🤝✨ #ALFED #Capalex #AluminiumIndustry #SkillsDevelopment #Manufacturing #UKAluminium
