Invest in test


Aluminium casting specialist and Made in the Midlands member, Alucast, has invested more than £200,000 launching a specialist department as it continues to recover from the pandemic. The company which employs nearly 100 people at its factory in Wednesbury, has secured a number of new wins with major car makers thanks to its ability to provide simulation, casting, machining, and the latest testing facilities. The latter has been strengthened with more than £200,000 investment to create a new dye penetrant service (a form of non-destructive testing to assess for cracks).


significantly increase production efficiency, eliminate human error and increase production throughput, says the company. To digitise and simplify the inspection process, the company also offers Inspex HD 180. Users can experience full HD image quality with no delay.

Agency specialises in engineering companies


Small to medium-sized businesses doing very clever engineering but which need help to effectively communicate the success of products and services, make up the client base for Aro PR and Marketing. The award-winning agency specialises in raising the profile of advanced engineering, composites and scientific companies, with communications services including writing, securing editorial coverage in specialist trade magazines, running organic and forensic social media campaigns, managing applications for major


The new department has been operating for several months, with five fully trained members of staff. Chairman Tony Sartorius said: “The automotive sector is always looking for faster production times and ‘right first time’ quality and this is what our latest investment is delivering”. Cast and machined parts are cleaned and treated with a special, coloured penetrant liquid, which searches out minute cracks in the surface of the


components. After a period of time, the parts are washed clean, which removes the liquid from the surface. A developer draws out the penetrant from the crack to reveal a coloured line if a fault exists. If cracks are evident, the part is scrapped. This means customers do not lose time or incur additional costs that arise when a faulty part is sent out for secondary processes. Alucast offers sand, gravity and high- and low-pressure casting to a client base that spans automotive, construction products, electrification and hydraulics. Part of the Manufacturing Assembly Network (MAN), the company had seen volumes dip during the pandemic but these have recovered through strong demand for its casting and machining capabilities.


Complementary services include casting simulation software, advanced laboratory facilities, x-ray, heat treatment and high-tech metrology.
