Innoval has been able to assist us in a particularly thorny problem on packaging where there was a complex interaction between an aluminium closure and sealant. We approached them as they were recommended to us for their expertise in aluminium, but they were able to offer much more from the creative way that they embraced the problem.
Dr. Phil Evans, Science and Technology Leader, Unilever Research Laboratory
Innoval brought a unique understanding of automotive aluminium sheet to this project. Their analytical capabilities, as well as their expertise in aluminium joining and surfaces, were key to the success of the UlCab project.
Dr Alistair Foster, Chief Technology Officer, Impression Technologies
In addition to the technical expertise that Innoval brought to the project in terms of sheet metal analysis and joining capabilities, they were a pleasure to work with in project management terms. They were always willing and more than able to help with any task that the project required, and helped the project partners form a successful and dynamic working group.
Adam Malone, R&D Project Manager, PAB Coventry
Materials development demands the input of expertise in all aspects of the manufacturing process and the requirement for high class metallurgical analysis. Innoval Technology has staff and facilities which satisfy both of these aspects of alloy advancement. Thus, Innoval’s services have proved to be invaluable to Langley Alloys as a means to developing and improving its products.
