From the administrators' statement
The Company was incorporated on 9 May 1973 The Company is an engineering business, specialising in the design, manufacture and installation of industrial furnaces and aluminium casthouse equipment across numerous high profile projects in international locations including USA, Norway, the Middle East and India. The business operates from the Property in Cradley Heath, West Midlands for which the Company holds under a long-term leasehold interest.
The Company had 70 employees at the date of appointment which were primarily based at the Property in Cradley Heath although, given the location of the Company’s customer projects, engineers and certain other key operational staff members regularly travelled overseas to work on contracts directly at customer sites.
The Company's main contracts typically lasted for 2-3 years and included complete turnkey projects covering design, manufacture, supply, install and commission to deliver complex solutions to meet individual customer requirements. Given the contractual nature of the business, the profile of cash receipts and payments were linked to specific milestones set out in the contracts.
