The company will spotlight an impressive range of technologies including, hot isostatic pressing, PVD and PVECD coatings, heat treatments, plasma nitriding, vacuum carburising and vacuum brazing. With full-service mechanical testing, all backed by UKAS-certified laboratories, this integration of services from Wallwork allows customers to streamline production workflows, reduce supply chain complexity and achieve consistent, repeatable quality from prototype to volume manufacture.

A major development since last year’s show is the installation of a second Quintus Technologies HIP (above). This latest investment brings total HIP capital expenditure to £20 million, which demonstrates Wallwork’s commitment to supporting component manufacturers in the aerospace and defence sectors. These additional capabilities give customers access to greater capacity, shorter lead-times and assures confidence in the structural integrity and performance of their mission-critical components.

Quality assurance is central to Wallwork’s operations. With EN9100 and Nadcap accreditations, alongside multiple approvals from aerospace primes, Wallwork meets robust regulatory and performance standards. The company’s commitment to continuous improvement ensures that coatings and processes are developed in close collaboration with OEMs to solve wear, corrosion, fatigue and friction challenges across high-performance applications.
