About us
We’re a leading UK engineering and manufacturing company of high-integrity, safety-critical flow control components.
At Al-Met we have the knowledge and capability to machine complex flow control parts to exact tolerances.
Our history
Established in 1985, we work with clients in the most demanding operational environments. Our team of specialists are used to working with exotic materials and provide a range of performance enhancing coatings and overlays.
Our in-house grinding capabilities, including grinding and NDT, significantly reduce our lead time, and we operate a LEAN culture, which ensures on-time delivery. We’re proud of our manufacturing process integrity – we can certify and trace all the materials that we use.
We build long-term relationships with our clients and are a trusted supplier to major OEMs in oil and gas, petrochemical, water and other critical industries, where the repair and refurbishment of components can be costly and challenging.
