Wales is a centre of excellence for aerospace manufacturing and Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) related activities employing over 23,000 people and is home to around 10% of the UK’s aerospace industry which also includes 20% of the UK’s MRO work. State-of-the-art facilities now manufacture, supply, maintain, repair and overhaul, civil and military aircraft from around the world. As such, the aerospace sector in Wales is a dynamic growth industry that operates on best practice techniques and spends £millions in the UK’s supply chain every year.
In recognition of this, Aerospace Wales plans to launch its first ever Capability Showcase & Supply Chain Opportunities Event at the newly opened AMRC Wales building in Broughton, North Wales on Thurs, 5th December 2019.
