History
United Anodisers was formed in 2007 from two major companies in the UK architectural finishing market, LHT Anodisers and Heywood Metal finishers. These two companies have a wealth of anodising experience having been at the forefront of the anodising market since the 1960's. United Anodisers is the leading player in the European market.

Heywood Metal Finishers – HMF
HMF was founded in 1961 when the first anodising line started production in Field Mills. Designed and optimised for architectural products primarily windows and door sections. This sixty+ years of experience are a sound foundation for today's products and services.
UA Uxbridge
LHT was founded in 1969 when the anodising line started production in Uxbridge. Its 40+ years of experience provide a sound foundation for today's products and services.
To enhance quality and development a decision was made to integrate the Uxbridge facilities into the Huddersfield site in 2021 (post-Covid). Thus strengthening the overall company and offering a “one stop shop” for all finishes.
There has been continued investment in the Huddersfield site, increasing capacity, improving quality, and allowing us to tailor our support for differing market sectors and better serve our customers.

Experience & Product Development
Our experience has made us one of the leading anodisers in the market, with decades of product and process development culminating in the diverse range of products and finishes we offer today.
We are proud to offer a selection of over 40 UV stable and A1 fire-rated colours covering every spectrum, including the latest developments in interference colouring.
Anolok I®
Anolok® II Grey Anodising
The initial building anodised using the then-new Anolok II process was the Park Road building in Uxbridge, still looking great today
Although all grades of aluminium can be anodised, there are specific features relevant to many of the grades. For high-quality architectural products, we would recommend extruded material specified from 6063/6060 aluminium extrusions. For fabricated products, i.e., rain screen panels, we would recommend AQ-certified products such as Novellis J57sUP and Aluminium Duffel 55HX for any sheet requirements.
Expanded mesh is a bespoke product generally using 1050 H14 and is widely used for car park cladding.
Our product development continues with:
· UnApol® - polished finishes
· CopaLok® - our new Copper coloured UV stable A1 fire-rated product
See what we can do together.
The widest product range in Europe using innovative solutions for colouring aluminium, these can be available in over 40 different colours, including the latest developments in interference colouring.
