The UK's energy transition is accelerating demand for aluminium alloy core wire and copper products on an unprecedented scale. Overhead transmission line upgrades, new grid connections for offshore wind, and expansion of distribution networks are all driving procurement of large volumes of aluminium conductor wire and copper cable.
Vertex Metals' launch product — Aluminium Alloy Core Wire (EC Grade and 6XXX series) — is a critical input for this sector. Sourced from Gujarat and Odisha under the India–UK CETA, we can supply at competitive CIF UK port pricing with full documentation and CBAM data.

Aluminium was designated a UK Critical Mineral in March 2025 — recognising its strategic importance to the UK's energy transition and grid infrastructure programme.
The UK automotive sector — centred on the West Midlands but extending to Sunderland, Derby, and beyond — is undergoing a major transition to electric vehicle production. EV wiring harnesses are significantly more complex than those in ICE vehicles, driving sharply higher demand for aluminium alloy wire and copper cable inputs.
Vertex Metals is directly positioned to serve this demand. Our aluminium alloy core wire sourced from Gujarat and Odisha is a direct input for EV wiring harness manufacturers across the UK Midlands corridor.
