Derby-based advanced composites manufacturer Pentaxia (www.pentaxia.com) is celebrating its 10th anniversary at Advanced Engineering 2018 (Stand M85) taking place at the Birmingham NEC on 31 October and 1 November.

With 39 new staff already recruited in 2018, the move to a former Rolls-Royce composite facility in Alfreton Road completed, and the new AS9100 Revision D quality accreditation achieved ahead of schedule, Pentaxia’s growth in the manufacturing and composites market has been rapid.

Director Stephen Ollier said: “We are continually looking to the future, investing in both our staff and facilities.

“We know that demand for advanced composites from OEMs is rising, and with our new quality accreditation plus a fully equipped 70,000ft² facility, we are ready for the next 10 years.”
