Vertik-Al has announced a new management team and significant financial investment, following the acquisition of the powder coating specialist by an investment group in March 2017.
The new management team is named as Angus Mackie, group managing director and Richard Gibbs, operations director.
Angus said: “Investment from the group, shareholders and the management team, together with vast funding capability gives us a robust platform for growth in what is an exciting and vibrant sector.
“We will continue to build on the competitive advantage of our powder coating heritageand deep systems knowledge, allowing us to provide our customers with more complete solutions.”
Vertik-Al is said to have been the first UK company to apply powder to aluminium back in the 1960s and is home to the country’s first vertical powder coating line. The business operates from purpose-built warehousing on Yardley Brook Industrial Park, Birmingham and employs 180 people from the local area.
