Joint Venture Aims to Improve Automated Aerospace Manufacture

A new British joint venture aims to improve automated manufacture, productivity and profitability systems for leading international aerospace manufacturers and their supply chain partners. The new company, called HYTRI, believes aerospace manufacturers will increasingly turn to external contractors that possess the appropriate knowledge and skills.

The new company will be based in Macclesfield and will begin combined operations from June 2005.

"The aerospace industry is rapidly adopting advanced new materials and construction methods such as the use of reinforced composites. To fabricate and manufacture these complex airframe structures will require new approaches to design and manufacture, " said Stuart Wilson, Managing Director of Hyde Group, the company that is a co-founder of HYTRI.

The HYTRI initiative is the result of a formal collaboration between Hyde Group Ltd, the world's largest, privately owned aerospace tooling design and manufacturing group, and AMTRI Ltd, an engineering company that provides advanced research and advisory services, production machinery and robotic systems to manufacturing industries in the UK and worldwide, including the aerospace sector.
