Parts are supplied for all sections of the engine, from the fan through compressor, combustor, turbine to exhaust as well as nacelles. Programmes include the Trent family, JSF and V2500.
Lean principles are used throughout, enabling us to be very responsive and agile with lead times kept to a minimum (less than 6 weeks for complex rings).
