Aluminium Shapes celebrates strong SME debut in landmark 40th year

Aluminium Shapes has reported a highly successful exhibition at this year’s Southern Manufacturing & Electronics show, using the event to strengthen industry relationships and showcase its latest sustainability-driven innovations – all in the company’s 40th year of trading.

The specialist aluminium extrusion manufacturer met with OEMs, engineers and procurement professionals from across the South, highlighting its bespoke extrusion capabilities and its commitment to responsible manufacturing.

A key talking point on the stand was Ali4 – Aluminium Shapes’ new low-carbon aluminium billet which is now their standard offering for all extrusions. It’s designed to help customers reduce the carbon impact of their aluminium supply chain without compromising on quality or
performance.

“Southern Manufacturing gave us a fantastic platform to have meaningful conversations with both existing customers and new prospects,” said Spencer Melia, Sales Director at Aluminium Shapes. “There’s a real appetite in the market for high-quality UK extrusion backed by transparency and sustainability – and that’s exactly where we’re focused.”

Throughout the three-day exhibition, the team discussed how its in-house technical expertise, flexible production capabilities and customer-first approach continue to differentiate the business in a competitive market.

“With 40 years behind us, we’ve built our reputation on reliability and long-term partnerships,” Spencer continued. “But we’re equally focused on the future. Innovative products like Ali4 demonstrate that sustainability and performance can go hand in hand.”

The event marked another milestone in what is already a landmark year for Aluminium Shapes, as the company continues to invest in innovation, customer service and responsible growth.

Spencer added: “It was great to see such strong engagement at the show. We’re looking forward to developing the conversations we started and supporting more manufacturers across the UK in the months ahead.”
