Mike Burrows, Burcas MD, commented: "Having successfully completed a trial order we continued to work with the customer, building our mutual understanding, with the result that we have recently received an additional, much larger order. Burcas has particular aerospace expertise in the creation of large, complex turned parts such as blisks, compressor discs and turbine shafts, so we have high hopes that this marks the start of a long term relationship with our new customer and indeed with others that we met during the Trade Mission."

The timing of the mission was particularly good as the Japanese Aerospace industry is currently very active, being involved with several major projects including the Boeing 787, Bombardier and Embraer. Recent developments in Japan, such as EJ101 and RR Trent sales, together with significant successes by other European countries, mean that there are good business opportunities for UK companies, particularly for those which have unique engineering capabilities and products.
