HMF was founded in 1962 when the first anodising line started production in Field Mills. Their fifty years of experience are a sound foundation for today's products and services.
Trade names for their products include Anolok™ and UA Organic Colour.
The production facility is located in Huddersfield, Yorkshire where the capabilities include batch anodizing for aluminum sheets and extrusions.
During 2007 the production facilities in Huddersfield were acquired by the United Anodisers group.
