We believe in built to last. Our customers rely on our high performance coatings and finishes to maximize productivity, reduce downtime, reduce cost, waste and environmental impact and increase profitability. Our highly experienced team are committed to delivering the highest possible levels of service and quality – always with a smile!

Steven Greenwood Managing Director

Just talk for 5 minutes with MD Steven, and his unparalleled experience in the coatings industry and irrepressible enthusiasm for all things engineering is glaringly obvious. Over 2 decades ago, following a successful career in the metal treatment sector, Steven founded Alphatek in the heart of industrial Lancashire. Under his Leadership and Direction Alphatek has grown in physical size of location and of course in well trained and experienced workers.

Without doubt a traditional hands on, well respected Senior Manager, Steven has safely steered the company through the goods times and through the recent recession, with a strong knowledge of his product and unwavering integrity.

Shaun GreenwoodCommercial Director

It is no accident that Alphatek runs like a finely tuned instrument. Co-founder Shaun Greenwood has his eyes, and hands, firmly on the day to day controls. A gifted engineer and innovative technical buff, not to mention his wicked sense of humour and clever wit, he is directly involved in all aspects of the Alphatek machine, shop floor, administrative department, quality, commerce and the Metlab.

Shaun is accessible and supportive and will ensure that all clients receive the highest level of service and quality of workmanship it is possible to provide.

Utilising his remarkable aptitude for ensuring that the client is offered the most effective coating for their components and projects, he likes nothing better than to listen to a brief and, immediately grasp the concept.

Having an Engineering Degree and 3 decades of broad based experience doesn’t hurt either! From the moment you contact Alphatek your project is in very safe, and, capable hands.
