Mettis Aerospace Ltd.

Mettis Aerospace has been awarded AS9100 accreditation for its assembly operations in advance of the official opening of its new UK factory, MACH 1, built in response to a multi-million-pound contract from a leading aircraft manufacturer.

Mettis Aerospace revealed plans to build a new factory at its site in Windsor Road, Redditch, Worcestershire, to expand its machining business. The factory will house six new state-of-the-art automated machines.

Boeing Commercial Airplanes chose Mettis Aerospace Ltd. to supply alloy steel forgings for its new plant in Sheffield, England, which will perform complex machining of gear systems and flight controls for 737 and 777 aircraft.
