Formes Alutek, renowned for its expertise on high profile and innovative projects including Great Ormond Street Hospital and M&S’s most eco-friendly store at Cheshire Oaks where the company installed Senior’s revolutionary Hybrid system, will complement the design and fabrication capabilities of the LDG Group whilst safeguarding jobs and open- ing up new market opportunities.

The company’s in-house powder coating and glass processing plants ensure consistent quality and fast lead times, which when combined with Formes’ industry leading fabrication capabilities, in particular the ability to curve to extreme tolerances, will ensure that the enlarged business will be in a position to capitalise on emerging opportunities across the spectrum of markets.
