Capacity at Superform Aluminium now offers formed aluminium parts up to 10mm thick following the completion of a new GBP1m at its Worcester, UK, production facility.
The company has made investments amounting to over GBP 250,000 in welding technology, including state of the art jigs and fixtures for handling large, heavy assemblies like the train fronts.

The Siemens contract alone is worth over GBP 6 million to Superform over the next few years, and proves that innovation and investment in manufacturing in the UK can still reap results.
