A desire for leaner inventories and quicker stock replenishment to meet fluctuations in demand has led to a major uptake in Alloy Wire International (AWI)’s Emergency Manufacturing Service (EMS).

The specialist in precision drawn round, flat, profile and wire rope has reported £250,000 of sales to companies involved in aerospace, energy and oil and gas over the last six months.

Honed through nearly eighty years of industry experience, the EMS fast tracks a request in just five days, from receiving the order it goes through to its technical team, allocation of raw material and into production.

The coordinated effort between sales, manufacturing and despatch delivers an essential lifeline to firms who need the material quickly to meet critical demand for end applications that deliver energy, save lives and fuels the innovation projects of the future.
