A Cardiff-based aluminum fabricator is set to support the construction of Aston Martin’s new Formula 1 facility at Silverstone.
The 400,000 sq ft facility will house the Aston Martin team’s design, manufacturing and marketing resource, as well as its first ever wind tunnel and a simulator.
Wind tunnels are used in Formula 1 during car development to analyze the efficiency of different components and achieve the right balance aerodynamically.
Dudley’s Aluminum will be working with SDC Builders Ltd on the project and will install Kawneer doors and capped curtain walling on the build.
Colin Shorney, managing director of Dudley’s Aluminium, said: “We are delighted to be working with SDC Builders Ltd on this project at the home of British motor racing.
“The facility will support Aston Martin’s growth and ambitions within Formula 1 which is very exciting.”
Since 1993, Dudley’s Aluminum has offered clients full in-house design and production facilities.
