PSG celebrates 50 years in business

Supplier of coatings, chemicals, adhesives and composite materials to the aerospace and defence sectors, PSG, has now been in business for half a century and will be celebrating this milestone during 2020.


Established in 1970, the company was started by the Wood brothers from a single office in Godalming, Surrey, distributing industrial coatings in the south of England.

In 1973 PSG moved to Haslemere and having gained Ministry of Defence (MoD) approval, began to focus on the aerospace and defence coatings markets.

In 2019 PSG was acquired by ADDEV Materials an international company employing over 700 staff in 25 locations across the globe with its headquarters based in Lyon, France.

ADDEV Materials Aerospace & Defence Group specialises in the custom packaging and distribution of chemicals, adhesives, tapes and technical films to the aerospace industry.
