A West Midlands aluminium foundry is reaping the benefits of a move to ‘servitization’ and forecasts that it will add nearly 10% to its annual turnover. Alucast, which employs over 100 people at its growing factory in Wednesbury, has invested nearly £500,000 in new technology to ensure that it now provides customers with access to Magmasoft casting simulation, prototyping and heat treatment. The company has also expanded its CNC capacity to offer five-axis machining and non-destructive testing, including X-ray and dye-penetrant testing.
