Abstract

“The Midlands is an important base for Meggitt plc, hosting key sites for our Aircraft Braking Systems, Control Systems and Polymers & Composites divisions. I am pleased to offer our support to Aerospace Forum Birmingham 2019 as an important opportunity to bring OEMs, Tier 1s and the aerospace supply chain together for mutual benefit.” Tony Wood, Chief Executive Meggitt plc.* "The world’s aerospace industry is currently expanding rapidly. Airbus and Boeing aircraft production rates continue to grow to levels that were previously unheard of, with the number of aircraft manufactured forecast to triple between 2005 and 2025. The aerospace supply chain in the Midlands has an important role to play in making these projections a reality. But we all need to work together even more closely if our companies are to benefit from this growth by providing the capacity and delivering on-time what our customers require. That’s why I welcome this second edition of Aerospace Forum Birmingham as an opportunity for us to meet together, discuss new business, and improve our performance for the future. "
