MANX Engineers, a leading supplier of precision machined parts to the aerospace industry, has signed a long term agreement with a major company.
The company, based in Gladstone Business Park, Ramsey, will supply the UK and US based landing gear and aerospace hydraulics design and manufacturing specialist APPH Ltd, with precision machined parts for incorporation into their landing gear systems.
The agreement was signed at the Department of Economic Development’s office at St George’s Court last week.
Manx Engineers director Bob Ringham said: ‘This long term agreement gives Manx the forward visibility to invest in additional equipment and staff training in line with our continuous improvement process and compliments our long term growth plans.’
Shaun Mullarkey, APPH’s head of supply chain, said: ‘As part of our commitment to our customers, we are rolling out our supply chain transformation programme and are pleased to have selected Manx Engineers as one of our key suppliers.
‘Manx have demonstrated that they can meet our exacting requirements and we look forward to working with them in the future.’
Aerospace Cluster chairman Adrian Moore described the agreement as ‘aerospace engineering at its best’.
He added: ‘I am sure the general public would be surprised to know that the parts manufactured in Ramsey, assembled and tested in Runcorn, end up as integral equipment on several prestigious aircraft the world over.’
