Innoval Technology was formed in 2003 by people from Alcan's Banbury Research Centre. We are still based in Banbury in the UK, but we occupy new premises and have always been completely independent of Alcan. The company is now owned by Italian equipment manufacturer, Danieli, and forms part of their Aluminium Strip Division. However, we still operate independently in much the same way as when we started in 2003.

The core team of 26 people provides expertise in a wide range of technical disciplines. Our practical experience is varied, with most people having worked on automotive, aerospace, building and packaging products.

The technical expertise and practical experience within Innoval is in the following areas:

• strategic investment
• metals processing
• process modelling
• metallurgy
• surfaces and coatings technology
• manufacturing best practice
• materials analysis

We combine all of this in multi-disciplinary teams to help our customers get the most from their materials and processes.

Our services are divided into four areas: Process Improvement; Materials Development; Product & Process Training; Strategic Support & Best Practice. Each area is described in more detail in the 'Service Areas' part of this site.
