Evtec Aluminum Limited (Evtec) has established itself as one of the leading OEM suppliers in the UK across the automotive, emobility, marine and power train sectors. At its class-leading facilities in the UK, Evtec designs, manufactures and supplies complex aluminum castings ranging in weight from just 50g up to 200kg. Evtec’s manufacturing process and engineering capabilities create aluminum components in an unlimited range of shapes and sizes designed specifically for the individual manufacturer’s requirements. Electric motors (e-motors) create tremendous force and the casing holding them in position must be able to withstand an enormous amount of pressure. Evtec’s proprietary manufacturing techniques produce thin, yet strong and often complex in design, aluminum casings which will endure the pressure waves and hold the e-motor in place throughout the vehicle’s lifecycle.
Evtec Proprietary Ultra-Light Aluminum plays a crucial role in the manufacture of lightweight parts for EV and Hybrid vehicles.
Nearly 2 million aluminum components are created at Evtec Aluminum facilities every year for customers such as Jaguar Land Rover, Bentley, Aston Martin, Ford, Dunlop and most recently, McClaren.
Evtec Chairman, David Roberts said, “Evtec Aluminum has seen an incredible transformation over the last two years. Our laser-focus on delivering high quality, lightweight aluminum components has established us as a key strategic supply partner to our world class OEM customer base. With strongorder and revenue growth in the first half of FY2024 ended December 31, 2023, we continue to expect increasing demand for our products to support growth in the second half as well.”
Blackboxstocks, Inc. CEO Gust Kepler said, “Throughout the course of this merger process, we have seen Evtec grow their customer base and solidify their position as a key supplier of critical parts for leading automotive companies. We are confident this merger will provide significant value for our shareholders. We are also working diligently to grow our core business in the fintech sector with new products and strategic partnerships.”
