Investment by Brookhouse comes with all the essentials
Brookhouse Aerospace, a leading player in the aerospace industry, has recently opened up its surface treatment capabilities to external customers due to increased demand. This move is part of the company's commitment to becoming a more vertically integrated supplier, as stated by Matthew Rossiter, CEO at Brookhouse Aerospace.
The expansion of machining capabilities is a significant step for Brookhouse Aerospace. With the investment of over £500,000 in new CNC machinery, customers can now rely on the company to deliver manufacturing, machining, and treatment requirements under one roof. The new machinery will enhance Brookhouse Aerospace's engineering capabilities for high volume, lights-out machining.
In recent months, the company has realigned its surface treatments production capabilities to offer expertise to the wider supply chain. This strategic decision has led to Brookhouse Aerospace being awarded a number of first work packages with leading OEM and Tier 1 suppliers.
Further developments are planned for Brookhouse Aerospace in the near future. The company has announced that further investment in machining capabilities is planned for the coming months.
Meanwhile, other players in the aerospace industry are also expanding their capabilities. Companies like MTU Aero Engines AG have invested in CNC machining and surface treatment capacities to expand their capabilities in aerostructure production.
Investments have not been limited to Brookhouse Aerospace. TextureJet, a leading innovator in advanced surface processing technology, has secured a six-figure investment package. A consortium led by Honeywell has received UK government funding for a project that aims to revolutionise how critical aerospace technologies are manufactured in the UK using AI and additive manufacturing.
Hewland Engineering has also completed a multi-million pound investment in industry-leading engineers and an advanced technical centre in Southam, Warwickshire. The NCC has adopted Dassault Systèmes' 3DEXPERIENCE platform on the cloud and extended its use to other innovation centres within the UK High Value Manufacturing Catapult network.
On the regulatory front, Lockheed Martin will upgrade the Republic of Korea Air Force's F-16 Block 52 flight simulators to mirror the advanced capabilities of its modernised F-16 Viper (F-16V) aircraft. ST Engineering MRAS, a subsidiary of ST Engineering's Commercial Aerospace business, has announced its sponsorship of the US Chamber of Commerce's Global Aerospace Summit, taking place in Washington, D.C. on Sept. 9-11, 2025.
These investments and developments underscore the ongoing growth and innovation in the aerospace industry. Brookhouse Aerospace's expansion is a testament to the company's commitment to meeting the demands of its customers and staying at the forefront of technological advancements.
