Machined Components
We manufacture complex machined components using CNC milling and turning technologies. Our capabilities include parts up to 250mm diameter with tight tolerances for aerospace applications. Quality assurance involves CMM inspection and statistical process control to meet industry specifications.
Cable Assemblies
Our cable assemblies utilise advanced thread rolling and rotary swaging techniques. We produce custom configurations with mechanical proof loading up to 70 tonnes. These components meet critical flight control requirements across commercial and military aircraft platforms.
Streamline Wires
As original manufacturers since 1909, we supply streamline wires for vintage aircraft restoration and modern aerobatic planes. Our cold rolling process creates precision components up to 3m length, maintaining historical specifications while meeting current safety standards.
Arrestor Ropes
We design and manufacture cross runway landing systems since the 1970s. These arrestor ropes provide critical emergency landing solutions for military aircraft across Europe, combining high tensile strength with rapid deployment capabilities.
CAD/CAM Engineering
Our CAD-CAM systems integrate with manufacturing processes for precision engineering. This technology enables rapid prototyping, dimensional analysis, and production optimisation while maintaining compliance with aerospace industry digital standards.
