AWS consolidates, looks for growth
1 min read
Electronic Manufacturing Solutions (EMS) provider AWS Group has consolidated its two Staffordshire operations at its Newcastle under Lyme site. The site incorporates a Centre of Excellence for the production of electronic assemblies for a range of sectors, including military and aerospace.
CEO Paul Deehan, pictured, said: "We constantly review the horizon so we can plan ahead for any fall or increase in demand. We are fortunate that we have a wide customer base operating in several sectors that have performed well during the recession – such as Mil/Aero, mass transport, medical and oil and gas exploration – where the products and services are often complex using leading edge technologies. We have a clear strategic plan to grow our turnover through organic and acquisitive means and the work done by the teams at Newcastle-under-Lyme and Newbury (AWS Cemgraft) means we have effectively developed the 'AWS Way' of working. Our future development, including more acquisitions, will follow this model."
The company has also established a Centre of Excellence for Aerospace and Defence, rolling out its SC21 manufacturing model across the site and supplementing AS9100 approval with NADCAP accreditation.
