What LMI Solutions Ltd does

LMI Solutions Ltd is a UK-based, privately held manufacturer and supplier of bespoke aluminium products serving B2B industrial customers, founded in 2017 after the current directors acquired the business from its previous owner and headquartered in Wigan, Greater Manchester. The company designs and fabricates custom aluminium guards, machine guards, frameworks, conveyors, workstations, and technical furniture, using a modular system based on T-slot aluminium profiles connected by standard M8 screw fixings, supported by in-house CAD 2D/3D design capability. It acts as a UK distributor and reseller of the Norcan aluminium profile range, supplementing its own manufacturing with Norcan's catalogue of profiles, accessories, conveyors, and Carenal products.

The business operates a sales-led, project-based go-to-market targeting manufacturing facilities, industrial equipment operators, and niche sectors such as motorsport engineering, with named reference customers including Formula 1, Stolle Machinery, and The Sempre Group. Pricing is bespoke and quote-based, determined per project scope, with revenue streams spanning one-time product sales (custom builds, flat-pack kits), professional services (design, installation, project management), and ongoing after-sales support under a 12-month guarantee. The operating model combines full-service on-site installation for enterprise clients with self-installation flat-pack options aimed at mid-market buyers, and distribution is exclusively UK-domestic through direct sales and direct delivery.
