AGC realigns global aerospace composites businesses

AGC Aerospace & Defense has announced that it has realigned its global aerospace composites businesses - which includes Derby-based Paul Fabrications - to unify its approach to the marketplace.

Formerly comprised of five different legacy brands: Tods Composite Solutions; Paul Fabrications; Unitech; Hill AeroSystems; and Integrated Composites, the collection of organisations will now be known collectively as AGC AeroComposites followed by the city in which sites are located.

AGC AeroComposites has sites in the UK in Yeovil, Portland and Derby, as well as in the US in Monterey, California, Seattle, Washington and Hayden, Idaho.
