 Midlands capability for the
worlds aerospace industry

We at the Midlands Aerospace Alliance are pleased to present the completely revised 2007-08 edition of
our member capability directory. We trust you will use it to identify world-class Midlands partners and
suppliers to work with you on your aerospace programmes and projects.

The Midlands is home to one of the worlds most signicant aerospace clusters. Aerospace systems
designed and made in the Midlands are found on the most advanced aircraft built around the world.
Leading names such as Rolls-Royce, Goodrich, Meggitt and Smiths are major players in the region. We
have a long and distinguished association with technology innovation for the aerospace industry and our
region is world-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

We contribute our capabilities to global aerospace in a business environment that fosters the highest
levels of innovation. Aerospace supply chains extend deep into the Midlands world-class advanced
engineering economy. We access and invest in a dynamic regional skills base, with more than 45,000
skilled people working in the aerospace sector directly.

Publication of this membership capabilities directory is central to the

mission of the Midlands Aerospace Alliance, to enhance cooperation
between customers, suppliers and partners in the Midlands aerospace
industry and globally, with the aim of improving the performance of all our
companies and organisations. contents
The directory has three sections:

processes embrace electro-plating, organic
(paint) nishing, anodising, printed circuitry
and ancillary methods of surface treatment.
More recently, the IMF has further broadened
