precision engineering for the aerospace industry
Alpha Precision has Quality Approval to BS EN ISO 9100 and AS9100RevC and has committed to the SBAC and SWMAS sponsored SC21.
Currently 34 % of sales are directly to companies in the Aerospace Industry.
Our main customer is Eaton[ex FR Hitemp], who we currently supply up to 100 line items on a consignment stocking contract as well as weekly scheduled JIT items for various platforms including Airbus, EF2000, Jaguar, Hawk, Tornado etc….
For Cobham Mission Equipment (Ex Flight Refuelling Ltd) we manufacture components for their Air to Air Refuelling Pods and also components for their Customer Support Section which includes parts on missile ejection units.
In addition, we support FR Aviation, manufacturing parts, as required, for their fleet of Dassault Falcons as well as any other 3rd party work that they undertake.
The industry is in the turmoil of constant change brought about by the influx of new materials and composites being introduced to the Aerospace marketplace.
The SME’s supporting the aerospace industry,through innovation and investment, strive for continuous improvement against a background of cost-down programmes, to meet and accommodate these everchanging demands and baseline cost increases.
Alpha Precision,with the cooperation of its suppliers, has endeavoured to absorb many of the recent double figure price increases in raw materials, energy and transportation costs.
The entire picture being further complicated by the global currency fluctuations.
Whether or not cost-down programmes are sustainable in the long term, Alpha Precision has established a culture which will keep it in the fore-front of best practice. Keeping price, quality and on-time delivery as the driving force for the future.
