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.
