Introduction
Midlands capability for the world’s aerospace industry The Midlands Aerospace Alliance is pleased to present you with the updated 2014-2015 edition of our member capability directory – which marks our tenth annual edition. It has been designed to help you identify world-class Midlands partners and suppliers for your aerospace programmes and projects. The Midlands is home to one of the largest aerospace clusters in the world. Aerospace technologies designed and made in the Midlands can be found on the world’s most advanced aircraft. Leading names such as Aero Engine Controls, Meggitt, Moog, Rolls-Royce and UTC Aerospace Systems are major players in a region renowned for its core competency technologies: • systems that power aircraft – gas turbine engines and other propulsion systems • systems that control the moving parts of aircraft and engines – electrical, mechanical, electronic, hydraulic and pneumatic • specialist metal and composite materials that enable these systems to perform with precision in exacting environments • specialist engineering design services, factory equipment and tooling The Midlands business environment fosters the highest levels of innovation. Aerospace supply chains extend deep into our cluster’s world-class advanced engineering economy. We access and invest in a dynamic skills base, with more than 45,000 skilled people working in our aerospace industry. The mission of the Midlands Aerospace Alliance is to enhance cooperation between customers, suppliers and partners in the Midlands and globally, so that we can improve the performance of all our companies and organisations.
