## From the administrators' statement

The Company was incorporated in 1973 and pioneered the idea of a one-stop-shop to service the UK’s burgeoning zinc and aluminium pressure diecasting industry By the late 1980s it had established itself as one of the country’s leading diecasting companies, and one of the few capable of handling all sizes and shapes of casting

Early on it developed an expertise in the manufacture of increasingly large and intricate zinc beer taps These taps required a blemish-free surface and a perfect chrome finish across a large casting Achieving thts difficult task required a comprehensive understanding of all aspects of toolmaking and casting together with state-of-the-art equipment, in particular a 400te zinc press It was one of the few

UK compantes that possessed a machine of this size Over the years this expertise has extended to aluminium and smaller castings
