Our businesses
Four markets, one manufacturing discipline.
Each business draws on the same in-house chain — design, tooling, machining, treatment and inspection — so tolerance and traceability stay consistent from prototype to volume.
Aerospace
Precision machined and geared parts for commercial and defence aircraft assemblies — fasteners, nozzles and precision nuts.
