Alumasc, a building and engineering products company, has said its profit recovery plan is now well under way, following serious difficulties with the group's Alumasc Precision Components (APC) operation.
The recovery plan has been built around the appointment of a new divisional Managing Director, with a career of relevant industry experience, supported by a strengthening of senior management, including finance. A new APC board structure has been put in place, with specialist non-executive representation.
In view of the progress to date, the new team remains confident of returning APC to profitability for the coming year, the firm said. In the meantime the other part of the Engineering Products Division, Dyson Diecasting, has continued to perform well winning new orders from customers such as Bentley, TRW and Siemens.
