Copper Alloys Ltd makes some of the worlds most advanced materials and components.

Our expertise in alloy selection and the production of complex critical machined finished parts can assist engineers in the world Marine Defence market. Specifically the material engineers at Copper Alloys Ltd can help optimise design to reduce risk and through-life cost. This helps in minimising time, costs and the stress of sourcing components for complex turnkey components. This is the core capability at Copper Alloys Ltd, and our ability to manage risk has been appreciated by key customers worldwide.

With our state-of-the-art project management system, Workflow, Copper Alloys Ltd are able to completely control every single task that makes up a complex project. Having developed a learning real-time system, we can predict schedule delays months in advance and even identify areas of risk far earlier than conventional approaches to project management. This enables our engineers to not only plan far ahead, but when problems occur, they are identified in enough time to enable action to be taken to bring the project back on schedule.

Working closely with our customers, Copper Alloys Ltd can put specific hold points in projects to suit requirements. For example, if a component design is not fully released but the envelope is finalized, we can save time by proceeding with material creation and holding the project at the point the proof machined envelope is achieved.

When asked about the reasons why a large and complex project was placed with Copper Alloys Ltd, the Project Manager stated:

the cost of non-delivery was so great that we went with a company who demonstrated the greatest understanding and control of the metallurgy

People power and a robust system of controls and procedures enables Copper Alloys Ltd to offer class-leading project management. Even at the quote stage of a project, the management team is selected from manufacturing engineers, metallurgists, corrosion experts, physicists, administrators and testing experts who will be allocated in the case of a successful bid.

The ability to produce some of the most advanced material technology requires absolute control over many variables, coupled with the ability to correctly define and identify risk and apply effective mitigation. When applied to project management, this approach and this grounding in complex alloy creation, enables Copper Alloys Ltd to consistently deliver on time in full. This is highlighted by the scope of approval that the Copper Alloys Ltd Management System is certified for:

Manufacture of bar, tubes, sections, semi-finished and finished machined components in a range of copper, nickel and other metal based alloys, as well as NDT activities including Ultrasonic Testing, Liquid Penetrant Inspection & Visual Inspection. Project Management of the manufacture of complete packages of equipment in a range of copper, nickel and other metal based alloys and non-metallic materials produced internally or in a network of approved sub-contractors and suppliers

The Copper Alloys Ltd guarantee: once we are in contract, we will do whatever it takes to exceed customer expectations. No extra costs, no delays, just competence.
