Martoccia returns with plan for new
ali window system
February 2017

Joe Martoccia has stepped back into the industry spotlight, heading the acquisition of a UK-based aluminium extruder, and today he told Aluminium in Architecture of an eventual plan to create a new aluminium window and door system.

He also hinted at a probable emphasis on developing ali’s fast-growing inroads into the domestic sector as well as commercial, using acquisition partner Anglo European Group’s contacts and distribution network.

Following the announcement that they are leading a consortium in the acquisition of the £10m sales extrusion and component manufacturer Aluminium Shapes Ltd, he told Aluminium in Architecture: “The company has been mostly into componentry with no real volume in fenestration but now we can start to look at products to develop with Anglo European’s customer base. Our plan is for some significant growth here, probably into finished products and a new door and window system is the obvious attraction.”

Then, he added: “Aluminium in fenestration has its roots firmly in commercial but we can view things in a very different way.”

Joe, who was most recently with Solidor and previously Ultraframe, has been appointed Group CEO of the consortium, named Aluminium Developments Group Ltd and will be based at Aluminium Shapes’ head office and production facility in Corby.

He said in a statement: “Investment from Anglo European Group, existing shareholders and the management team, together with funding from AIB (GB) delivers a well structured, robust platform for growth in what is an exciting and dynamic sector. Collaboration with Anglo European in the fenestration and road transport markets will provide additional opportunities for growth, building on what is an already diverse customer base.

"Aluminium Shapes is a solid company; with the additional investment and combined expertise of the management team we can significantly accelerate the growth of the business.”
