Norco to extend facility to meet strong demand

Poole-based Norco Composites & GRP, a leading manufacturer of composite structures, is to build a 10,000ft² extension to its factory to meet demand from customers in the aerospace and defence industries. This significant expansion will bolster the company’s capacity to manage growing workloads and projects while still maintaining the highest standards of quality and performance.

The extension will be equipped with temperature and humidity control systems, ensuring an optimal environment for composites manufacturing. These systems will guarantee consistent quality in every product Norco produces. Additionally, positive air pressure systems will be employed to maintain a clean and dust-free environment, reducing the risk of contamination and ensuring that products meet the stringent quality and reliability standards required in the aerospace and defence sectors.

Steve Ross, programme manager at the facility, said: “Norco has always been committed to providing innovative and reliable composite solutions to our clients in the aerospace and defence sectors. The development of this new extension is an essential step toward fulfilling that commitment while accommodating the growing needs of our customers.”
