Birmingham Aluminium Casting (1903) Co. Ltd. (known as Birmal) grew out of the bicycle boom in the late 1890's. Aluminium was only just being recognised as a manufacturing material with Birmal being an early pioneer. By the late 1930's they supplied aluminium alloy to those who required it, especially the aircraft and automobile industries.
