Bridgnorth Aluminium has kickstarted a £2m investment drive in new technology at its 66-acre Shropshire site as part of a long-term growth plan targeting new markets.
The growth is good news for the business which was negatively impacted in 2023 by rising UK energy prices and the decision of a major customer to move production from Europe to China. He said: “We are ahead of our recovery plan. We expected our Bridgnorth workforce to total around 305 but we’re already at 330, with more jobs being created now for additional production operatives plus support roles in engineering and other disciplines.
The new £1.6m investment is in molten metal filtration equipment which is deployed prior to the casting process and will support the company to increase its share of new and growing markets.
