In recent years, Altimex has demonstrated exceptional levels of growth, expanding both our customer base and operational capacity. Despite global supply chain pressures, we have achieved double-digit revenue growth year-on-year, reflecting not only the demand for high-quality British manufacturing but also the resilience and agility of our team. Our investments in automated manufacturing systems and cleanroom assembly environments have allowed us to remain at the forefront of our sector while increasing productivity and improving customer lead times. 

Looking ahead, we are focused on sustainable expansion. Our three-to-five-year strategy includes increasing export activity, expanding R&D capacity, and increasing our UK manufacturing footprint. We are also developing proprietary technologies that respond to emerging needs in sectors such as renewable energy, transportation, and medical devices. Financially, our growth is underpinned by a robust strategy that balances reinvestment with disciplined cost control, ensuring long-term profitability without compromising our values. 

Beyond financial metrics, Altimex is deeply committed to making a ‘meaningful’ contribution to the local and national economy. Based in Cheshire, we actively partner with local schools, colleges and universities to offer placements, mentoring, and apprenticeships, helping nurture the next generation of engineers and technicians. We’re proud to have retained talent within the region, and over 85% of our current staff live locally — many having progressed internally through training and development programmes. 

We also work closely with local community groups and educational organisations to raise awareness of STEM careers. This includes providing equipment for school workshops, hosting factory tours, and offering insight sessions to students from underrepresented backgrounds. In the past year, we’ve also increased our local supplier spend by over 20%, reinforcing our commitment to building economic resilience within our own community. 

Our business is not only about producing exceptional products—it’s about doing so with purpose. We believe that real growth is measured not only by financial success but by the positive and lasting impact we have on the people and places around us – the local community. 

In every decision we make—whether it’s adopting low-waste production practices, investing in people, or supporting local causes—we ask ourselves how it contributes to a stronger, more inclusive economy of the future. That is why we believe Altimex Ltd is a worthy candidate for the Local Economy of the Future – Business of the Year.
