With over 66 years of experience in heat treatment innovation, Wallwork is the one-stop-shop for aerospace and defence manufacturers seeking high-performance thermal processes. Across four strategically located UK sites, the company offers heat treatment, hot isostatic pressing (HIP), vacuum brazing and precision-applied ultra-hard coatings. These are critical in enhancing the strength, performance and longevity of mission-critical components.

Hot Isostatic Pressing will be the highlight of the stand. Due to demand from customers across Europe and beyond, the company brought forward a £10 million investment in a second Quintus Technologies hot isostatic press. Making £20 million invested since 2023 in HIP alone. The company has also expanded other core services across the group. The additional HIP will be operational soon and provides greater capacity and flexibility in component loading.
