Bridgnorth Aluminium has reported a £230m increase in turnover for 2024, marking a strong recovery from 2023.
Despite the current challenges facing the metals trade, the UK manufacturer of flat rolled aluminium coils saw a 9% increase in sales.
General manager, Gerhard Trilling, said: “The last year has been a year of real progress for Bridgnorth Aluminium. After a tough 2023, we’ve bounced back thanks to the hard work of our team and some smart changes to how we operate.
“We’ve improved productivity, cut costs, and strengthened our relationships with customers and seen new projects delivered.
“Highlights have included a new major multi-year contract with an EU client and the investment of nearly £2m in new filtration technology at our Shropshire site. This upgrade will help us supply cleaner, higher-quality aluminium for electric vehicles and packaging — two markets that are growing fast.”
Another project includes the launch of a new recruitment drive as the company looks to create up to 10 new jobs in the next few months.
Furthermore, accounts show Bridgnorth Aluminium has donated more than £50,000 to local charities in the last year.
Trilling concluded: “Like many in the metals sector, we continue to navigate a challenging environment. Uncertainty over global trading conditions, the new US tariffs, the introduction of the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) and persistently high energy costs all present ongoing pressures.
“But despite these headwinds, Bridgnorth Aluminium remains focused on resilience, innovation and supporting our customers in the UK and internationally,”
