Ceratizit Group (www.ceratizit.com) has further enhanced its support for high-technology high-added-value industries in the UK by joining the North West Aerospace Alliance (NWAA) — one of the largest organisations of its type, representing over 750 businesses in north-west England (these range from ‘blue chip’ OEMs to sub-contract manufacturers and their suppliers).

UK and Ireland managing director Tony Pennington said: “The Ceratizit Group’s involvement with the aerospace sector is a long-standing one, so accepting the invitation to join the NWAA is a logical step. In line with other leading associations that the Ceratizit Group is a member of, we look forward to playing an active role in developing partnerships and technical alliances with other members.

“Membership of the NWAA comes at an exciting time for the Ceratizit Group, which is introducing new products that are ideal for aerospace applications, especially the finish-milling of airframe components and composites.”
