“At Tata Motors my role, as General Manager for the DMO dept, is to turn car designers’ dreams into reality, from matchbox to full-size show cars, we do it all.

“As a specialist manufacturer of aluminium foundry cast components, using sand and gravity die, I really value the importance of a key strategic supplier, which is why we’ve been working with Alphateq for 20+ years. Our friendship and working relationship, with all their team, is 100%. The level of trust and confidence we place in them goes without saying, and they always go the extra mile. With their pedigree and expertise, they’re always able to produce the highest-quality tooling possible, with techniques and ideas we’ve sometimes never considered before, and in all those 20+ years, we’ve never had a tooling project they couldn’t produce, no matter how challenging.”

““As the Foundry Manager at EDL, making complex cast parts for Aerospace and The Ministry of Defence, coupled with my previous 15 years as manager at other foundries, I’ve fittingly come to rely on Brian Garforth and his amazing team at Alphateq. Their knowledge of cast components and patterns is profound. Not only that, but their knowledge of foundries, the different processes, equipment, and methodologies is outstanding, which is the key reason that sets them apart from the vast majority of patternmakers. Also, it’s all well and good a designer creating something onscreen but being able to actually make it is a totally different proposition, but with the advice of Brian, and his expert team, there’s never been a component we couldn’t make. Alphateq are simply in a different league to the rest.””

Lee Chase – Foundry Manager

“As a leading UK Foundry supplying the highest quality machined, finished, and assembled castings into the aerospace and defence markets, means our parts have to be of a premium quality. Therefore, the reason we use Alphateq is because it’s imperative that our patternmaking suppliers produce superb patterns, have fantastic facilities, modern machinery, and excellent CAD and technical expertise. Alphateq meet all those criteria. In fact, they’ve made patterns for our largest MoD parts, at almost 2m in length, where their quality was superb, their deliveries were band on, and their pricing was good value for money. I always enjoy visiting Alphateq as they’re a great company with an amazing team of friendly and experienced engineers”

“Manufacturing high voltage, cast resin isolation transformers, we need to produce accurate polyurethane resin castings using the highest quality tooling. To achieve this we have a long association with Alphateq, and they have been producing our tooling for many years as we trust their quality and excellent technical expertise. They are a responsive friendly team who are very supportive, delivering a complete service. IST Power give them an outline dataset of each casting and they do everything else to deliver a completed tool. They can do this because they’ve taken the time to truly understand our business and requirements, with an experienced engineering team to back this all up”
