Arlington Aerospace has acquired UK-based precision engineering component manufacturer North West Precision (NWP) for an undisclosed sum.

NWP is mainly specialising in producing fasteners, cutting tools, tools and aircraft components.

For a period of more than 30 years, NWP has been providing components to various companies such as Airbus, Hawker Beechcraft and BAE Systems.

NWP operates two purpose-built factories situated in Birkenhead and close to Liverpool.

"We’re leading the way in driving greater efficiency for our customers through the hard work of our unique and talented people."

The acquisition enables the supply of design, manufacture, metrology, service and maintenance, as well as planned preventive maintenance (PPM) services from a single source.

Arlington Industries Group group CEO Mark Franckel said: "We’re leading the way in driving greater efficiency for our customers through the hard work of our unique and talented people.

"I believe that the newest addition to our aerospace division, NWP, represents an attractive commercial opportunity to grow stronger as a team and deliver efficient supply chain solutions to our customers."

With specialisation in global supply chain integration, Arlington Aerospace buys companies to provide greater efficiency to its global customer base.

Arlington Aerospace recently opened a project office in Nantes, France, to support its customers on the ground.

The group currently has more than 650 employees based across ten sites.
