Business summary

A long-established precision engineering business supplying machined components to aerospace, medical device and instrumentation customers. The business operates from a freehold facility, holds AS9100 and ISO 13485 accreditation, and works to multi-year supply agreements with blue-chip primes.

The company machines complex, close-tolerance components in aluminium, titanium and specialist alloys. Production runs across 18 CNC machining centres on a two-shift pattern, with in-house inspection and a dedicated quality function. Roughly three quarters of revenue is placed under scheduled supply agreements with call-off forecasts issued quarterly, which gives strong forward visibility. The management team below the owner includes an operations director, a quality manager and a commercial manager, all of whom intend to remain post-transaction.
