Intro

EVTEC Aluminium supplies lightweight aluminium castings to major equipment manufacturers around the world.

We support across the whole lifecycle from prototypes to volume manufacturing. With in house casting, machining, testing and assembly capabilities, quality is built into our DNA.

Intro

Based on two sites in the UK, we supply parts to a global customer base. At our foundry in Kidderminster, we have die-casting machines ranging in size from 700T to 2700T and represents a significant investment in our die casting capacity.

Coventry

Combining this with our already established component machining, assembling and testing capability in Coventry, we can respond to our growing customers’ needs, ensuring a robust and feasible design is established from the onset saving time and money.

What we do

High-pressure die casting

High pressure die casting is a process whereby molten aluminium is injected, under pressure, into a sealed mould cavity known as a “die”. It is held in place by powerful hydraulics until the metal cools and solidifies. Following solidification, the die is opened and the cast metal is released and removed. This process enables EVTEC Aluminium to produce large volumes of components, perfect every time with just 2% wastage.

CNC machining

CNC Machining is a computerised manufacturing process in which software controls the exact movement of milling equipment. Our CNC machine tools range from three to full five axis movement enabling us to produce the most complex and intricate components from a range of materials giving us the flexibility from prototype to high volume.

Assembly

Many of our customers ask for their components to come pre-assembled to ensure they’re ready to fit on the production line. This is something we can factor into the product and we’re able to do any assembly required.

Testing facilities

We conduct a range of tests including; visual inspections, X-ray and coordinate measuring machine (CMM) – laser measuring the geometry to ensure every component is designed to the exact tolerances set by our customers.

Our Sectors

As the world accelerates towards an electrified future, EVTEC Aluminium works across a broad range of sectors to help manufacturers achieve their net zero goals.

E-Mobility

EVTEC Aluminium is at the forefront of the rapidly growing EV sector. We work with many major OEMs, including Jaguar Land Rover, helping them to accelerate their electrification plans. EVTEC is in a prime position to supply this demand for EVs thanks to the strength to weight benefits offered by aluminium castings.

Off-Highway

Construction, leisure (Quad Bikes, ATV’s) and agricultural vehicles are now being offered with the option of an electric drive system and battery power to reduce their emissions. Aluminium castings are an integral part of these new systems and will continue to replace heavy steel and non-recyclable plastic parts currently used.

Aerospace

Lightweight precision aluminium components are the mainstay of the aerospace industry. EVTEC Aluminium supplies both precision high pressure die-cast and high-fidelity CNC machined parts for customers who require high volumes of lightweight flawless components.

Renewables

As the renewable energy sector (e.g. solar, wind, hydro) continues to go from strength to strength, EVTEC Aluminium can offer a considerable cost benefit due to the repeatable, consistent high-quality manufacturing processes involved in high pressure die casting.

Power Systems

EVTEC Aluminium manufactures control boxes and chassis for TAE, pioneers in fusion power. TAE’s fully integrated power management system controller, converter and battery components are integrated into a single, high-pressure aluminium die cast Power Module.

Lighting Systems

Lighting enclosures are commonly made from aluminium castings as they offer the customer aesthetically appealing finishes and designs whilst being lightweight and resistant to heat. EVTEC Aluminium applies its precision high pressure die-casting manufacturing to produce consistent high quality lighting enclosures, produced from 100% recycled aluminium.

Hydrogen

EVTEC Aluminium is on point to provide turnkey design and manufacture services to everyone in the H2 sector.

Research has found that aluminium castings used in a hydrogen combustion engines do not suffer hydrogen embrittlement issues.

Automotive

EVTEC Aluminium is located at the heart of the UK’s automotive industry in the Midlands. We produce complex and high-quality lightweight aluminium castings to major automotive manufacturers globally and in the UK. We form a strategically crucial link in the supply chain as light weighting and recyclability is critical to the automotive industries transition to Net Zero.

Marine

EVTEC Aluminium offers turnkey solutions to support the full production process, from design and optimisation for manufacture to testing and assembly of 100% recycled aluminium components.
