Merc will be showcasing their recent success at the 46th year of the Farnborough International Airshow in July 2008. The company has booked a stand on the NWAA (North West Aerospace Alliance) pavilion, stand D14, Hall 1. Now held bi-annually, the Show will celebrate its 60th Anniversary, as it was held for the very first time at the Farnborough Aerodrome in 1948. Merc is confident that the show will lead to an increased profile in the Aerospace industry.

Merc's recently acquired sister company, Bright Spark Engineering, has significant expertise in 5-axis horizontal machining and it counts the Aerospace industry as one of its most prolific markets serving various prestigious Aerospace groups. The Aerospace sector can be extremely competitive and most of the components supplied are complex in nature and require very tight deadlines as well as critical tolerances.

The company is approved to the AS 9100 Aerospace standard, and they have been responsible for producing components for all manner of Aerospace and aircraft interior devices including military seating, commercial seating, and bed seats for Virgin’s first class cabins.

Merc already benefits from a history of manufacturing parts for the Aerospace Industry, having manufactured parts for Rolls Royce for over 15 years. Merc however specialises in the military side of the Aerospace market, having been involved in the prototyping and development of prestigious projects such as the ASRAAM missile and the 1000lb Bomb for Royal Ordnance. Merc is currently going through the process of getting approved to AS 9100 in order to secure more aerospace contracts for flying parts.
