The RT Hon James Cleverly TD VR MP opening new Wade/Gatic building extension

Alumasc, the premium sustainable building products, systems and solutions
group, is pleased to announce the formal opening of its Gatic access covers
manufacturing and assembly facility at its site in Halstead, Essex.  The Rt.
Hon James Cleverly TD VR MP is visiting Alumasc's site in Halstead to open and
record the historic transfer of the Gatic business to Halstead.

The move follows the investment of over £3 million in building work and new
machinery, which improves manufacturing capability and efficiency, as well as
simplifying product installation and further enhancing Gatic's environmental
credentials. It will also continue to support Gatic's commitment to UK and
international sales growth, thus far Gatic products have been supplied to
projects in 114 countries, with the top four being: Hong Kong, Qatar,
Singapore, UAE and Spain.

The Halstead site will become the manufacturing hub for Alumasc's
market-leading Gatic and Wade brands. Gatic specialises in engineered access
covers and surface water drainage products which are used to capture, control
and return run-off safely into the natural water cycle. Wade manufactures a
range of high-quality standard and bespoke drainage products including, floor
gullies and gratings, linear drains and roof outlets for use in and around
buildings. Concentrating drainage manufacturing at the Halstead site will
allow for further investments to improve capacity and efficiency and
accelerate new product development.

The Rt Hon James Cleverly TD VR MP welcomed the innovation at the Halstead
site and said:

"The relocation of UK manufacturing and assembly for the Gatic range to
Alumasc's Halstead site is a major milestone. I am delighted to see Halstead
emerging as a key hub for Alumasc's market-leading brands, supported by
state-of-the-art facilities. This investment will drive growth, create jobs,
and foster innovation, strengthening both the local economy and the wider
manufacturing sector."

Paul Hooper, Chief Executive of The Alumasc Group said:

"This exciting move of Gatic covers manufacturing to Halstead represents a
significant milestone in our journey towards greater innovation, growth, and
enhanced product sustainability. The new location not only provides
state-of-the-art facilities and enhanced machinery but also enables us to
optimise our operations and expand our capabilities. I want to thank everyone
involved with this project who helped make this move a reality".
