The Company in its current form was created in February 1996, when a management buy-in team purchased the downstream operations from Alcan Aluminium Limited and formed a new company, initially called British Aluminium.
In October, 1997 in recognition of the fact that the nature of the business was international and covered a wide variety of metals and other materials, the name of the holding company was changed to LUXFER GROUP.
From its two main predecessors, Alcan and The British Aluminium Company, Luxfer inherited a rich legacy of expertise in the metallurgy of light metals and the manufacturing processes to produce specialist engineering materials. The core companies in the Group, Magnesium Elektron, MEL Chemicals, Luxfer Gas Cylinders have pioneered the use of aluminium, magnesium and zirconium for over 60 years and have an unrivalled understanding of the application of these materials.
Over the last decade the Group has shown a major commitment to new product and manufacturing innovation, improving manufacturing efficiency and working closely with customers to develop new solutions to their product needs.
