AN Earby-based company is going even further to bring a touch of colour into people's lives.

Dispec Anodizing Ltd, based at Sough Bridge Mill, Colne Road, Sough, specialises in aluminium metal finishing, and has just introduced a new machine which is suitable for the engineering industry.

Formed six years ago, the firm now boasts one of the widest range of semi-automated anodizing facilities in the North West.

Before expansion, Dispec already offered a choice of matt, satin or bright finishing and a range of colour dyes.

Managing director Dave Ralph said: "Anodizing is not just industrial, it's everywhere. If you look around your own home there are many things which are anodized, from kitchen equipment to shower cubicles."

Dispec has a firm client base, which includes come of Europe's biggest names in the catering, lighting, energy and consumer products industries.
