AATI ARCHITECTURAL LIMITED
Company number 01841189 · Monitor this company
This company is in liquidation.
Executive summary
AATI Architectural Limited operated in the specialist UK cast-metal anti-slip products niche for four decades, but its financial position has deteriorated to the point of terminal insolvency. The company's near-zero cash position (£214), ballooning debtors (£551k representing 98.6% of current assets), and 21-fold increase in current liabilities signal a classic manufacturing liquidity crisis, compounded by the structural headwinds facing UK foundries — energy cost inflation, import competition, and construction market slowdown. The company's status as being in liquidation confirms that despite growing net assets on paper, the business could not convert receivables into operational cash flow. Within the context of a declining UK foundry sector that has lost two-thirds of its operators since the 1980s, AATI represents another casualty of the sector's inability to sustain small-scale operators against mounting cost pressures and working capital constraints.
