Marlowe Anodising is proud to be a British Manufacturing Company. The business was first established as Alpha Anodising UK Ltd in 1972 to fulfil a requirement for quality black anodising of motion picture equipment. Since then the team here at Marlowe have built an enviable reputation for producing some of the finest and highest quality anodising the UK has to offer and have grown to serve clients across a range of industries around the world, from high end consumer electronics to industrial process equipment.

Anodising is an electrochemical process used to produce durable and decorative finishes on components made of aluminium or aluminium based alloys.

Untreated aluminium naturally produces a protective oxide coating on exposure to the atmosphere. Whilst this natural oxidisation offers some protection from corrosion, it is very thin and should not be considered suitable for long term protection.

At Marlowe Anodising we replicate and control the growth of this coating by anodising, offering your product greater protection along with range of cosmetic pre and post-treatment finishes. See Our Services Page for more details of what we are able to offer.

Contact Us now to find out how Marlowe Anodising can transform and protect your products, creating the professional finish your customers expect. We like to go that extra mile for all of our clients so if you have any questions or ‘impossible’ requests, we will be happy to discuss your project in more detail.
