About this business
A Glasgow manufacturer producing airframe structures and assemblies, including machined ribs, frames and sheet metal parts, for aircraft builders and their suppliers. It leases a site in a suburban area and employs 105 people. Turnover has grown each year from £10.45m in 2021 to £12.10m, and EBITDA from £810k to £1.25m, though margins are still around a tenth of sales.
