Opportunities to join a successful manufacturer We are offering high calibre graduates the opportunity to join a successful manufacturer that is currently seeking to continue to expand and develop its manufacturing and commercial teams in support of its strategy for growth. The Company is firmly established as a quality supplier of aluminium rolled products and is Europe’s only fully integrated producer of lithographic quality strip with all processes on one site under one management team. Bridgnorth Aluminium is a West Midlands top 100 manufacturing company and a top 25 exporter. The Company specialises in hot and cold aluminium rolling and associated processes, meeting the high standards demanded by the producers of plates for the printing industry. In addition, the Company supplies the foil packaging industry with material for use in the food and pharma sectors. This year the Company has entered new markets for multi-slit aluminium coils, in particular coils for electrical transformers and for automotive heat shields. The Company sells to high profile multinational customers such as Eastman Kodak, Fujifilm, Agfa Gevaert, Schneider Electric and Siemens, and 90% of its sales are outside of the UK. High levels of metal cleanliness, excellent surface quality, engineering excellence, technical know-how and a lean supply chain are all critical to success in the Company’s markets. Although the first investments in foil rolling mills on the current site date back to 1957, Bridgnorth Aluminium Limited was established in 2001 following an EU divestment condition relating to the merger of its then owner, Alusuisse with Alcan. The outcome was a new Company, 100% owned by Elval S A of Greece whose ultimate holding company is Viohalco, the leading metals group in Greece. In March 2009, there was a capital increase and 25% equity participation by Furukawa-Sky Aluminium Corporation of Japan and since then, Bridgnorth Aluminium has been a Joint Venture Company owned 75% by Elval of Greece and 25% by Japanese shareholders. The Company is a UK registered Company, run as an autonomous business by its own management team dedicated to meeting the demands of its customers worldwide. In 2013 the turnover of the business was £175m and the Company occupies a 66 acre site, employing over 300 people. The Company has achieved its success as a result of the skills and expertise of its people coupled with a continuous programme of investment, providing state of the art facilities and technology, enabling it to be totally responsive to the needs of its customers: since its establishment in 2001 over £62m has been invested. The Company has clear plans to grow strongly, building upon its experience and expertise in order to offer customers new and improved products and solutions. In 2014 the Company announced a £40m investment in a new production centre. Our established Graduate Trainee Programme has been designed to ensure that we develop the necessary levels of managerial, commercial and technical expertise to support these plans for growth and is a vital element of our future strategy. The Company is located in Bridgnorth, a historic market town in Shropshire with good road connections: Birmingham 23 miles, Wolverhampton 13 miles, Telford 10 miles.
