Alloy Wire International (AWI) has secured its 250th customer in the spring manufacturing sector thanks to its reputation for technical expertise, fast lead times and broad range of high performance alloys.

Alloy Wire International (AWI), which manufactures round, shaped profile, wire rope and electrical resistance wire from its factory in the West Midlands, is celebrating the milestone by taking its biggest ever presence to CASMI Springworld 2016 in Chicago, US.

There will also be an opportunity for visitors to Stand #1021 to discover how AWI can provide wire in diameters from as small as .001” to as large as .827”.

Sales director at Alloy Wire International, Angus Hogarth explained: “We have a long track record supplying spring makers all over the UK, the US, Canada and the rest of the world.

“Many springs are used in highly sensitive sectors, such as nuclear, oil and aerospace. Only the best is good enough, which is why we are DFARS compliant, adhere to REACH and carry a number of industry approvals. Repeatable quality is what we are all about.

According to Hogarth, Springworld – sponsored by the Chicago Association of Spring Manufacturers Inc (CASMI) – is a “massive date” in the industry calender.

Alloy Wire International has grown into one of the world’s leading manufacturers of precision, drawn, flat and shaped wire

He added: “The event is a great way for us to meet up with existing and new customers, as well as communicate the new advancements in wire manufacturing we have been developing over the past 12 months.”

This year has seen Alloy Wire International take on another three people – including one apprentice – to cope with increased demand from the EU, US and the Far East.

Hogarth concluded: “Export is half of our total sales and we have offices in 40 countries, with the aim to forge more strategic partnerships going forward.

“We always look to get local knowledge and expertise on the ground and then support that with the best sales and marketing activity and world class manufacturing from our two sites in the UK.”
