The new contracts, which create and secure jobs at the company’s Pinxton plant, enter Nasmyth Bulwell into long-term agreements for legacy and new complex components. These are destined for engines that include the Rolls-Royce XWB and Trent 1000, which are fitted to Airbus and Boeing’s new wide body airlines.
Says Nasmyth Group Ltd chair and chief Peter Smith: “We believe the new contracts are a huge vote of confidence in Nasmyth’s complex capabilities as solutions providers. We are continuing to invest heavily in the latest manufacturing technology and in the skills of our growing 260 strong workforce to ensure we remain competitive in the global aerospace, defence and nuclear markets.”
Nasmyth Bulwell’s success follows its work with Sharing in Growth (SiG), the government-backed programme to raise the productivity and competitiveness of the UK aerospace supply chain. Nasmyth Bulwell joined the programme in 2014.
Adds Rolls-Royce supply chain head of product introduction Craig Smith: “We are delighted to continue our long relationship with Nasmyth Bulwell and, as a major sponsor of SiG, we whole-heartedly support the drive to improve the competitiveness of the UK aerospace supply chain.”
Nasmyth Bulwell is also celebrating receiving a Business Leaders Award from global multinational defence, security and aerospace customer BAE Systems. The award recognised work done by Bulwell with BAE Systems to machine a fuel pipe that had been traditionally difficult to manufacture by casting.
