Aerospace

As with other industries, the strength of the Sheffield region within the aerospace sector lies with the production of raw materials used for aircraft component manufacture.

Corus Engineering Steels with its headquarters in Rotherham is one of Europe’s prime producers of engineering steels used in aerospace for applications such as aircraft landing gear and helicopter gear heads and rotors.

Sheffield is a centre for production of super alloys for use in aircraft structures and there are a number of quality machinists who act as product and supply integrators for the likes of Rolls Royce.

In addition, the Advanced Manufacturing Park (AMP) on the Sheffield-Rotherham border has become the UK centre for aerospace research and development organisations. The AMP is home to the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC) with Boeing who work extensively with Boeing’s supply chain partners advancing manufacturing techniques.
