Fifty-five years ago this week, one of aviation’s most celebrated aircraft crossed the Atlantic for the first time, marking a moment when engineering ambition, precision and human ingenuity came together on a remarkable scale.

Britain’s improving export picture is striking the right note at ASG Aerospace, where Coventry-based ASG Arrowsmith has built an award-winning international business supplying precision-engineered components into global aerospace programmes.

Germany’s manufacturing sector has entered the third quarter of 2026 with renewed momentum, as rising production, export demand and orders point to growing activity across Europe’s largest industrial economy.

We’re delighted that ASG AMF Precision Engineering has been selected as one of five successful applicants in the fourth and final funding call of the CSconnected £1m Supply Chain Development Programme, delivered in partnership with Cardiff Capital Region.

With a record-breaking Farnborough International Airshow behind it, ASG Aerospace is already looking towards the next major gathering of the global aerospace industry: the Paris Air Show in June 2027.

Farnborough International Airshow 2026 concluded with record attendance, major commercial announcements and renewed confidence across the global aerospace and defence sector, providing an important platform for collaboration, investment and long-term growth throughout the international supply chain.

Alongside the aircraft displays and international business of Farnborough International Airshow, one of the most important days of the week belongs to the next generation.

ASG Aerospace has marked Farnborough International Airshow 2026 with recognition from one of the world’s leading aerospace manufacturers, as its ASG Arrowsmith site was once again awarded membership of the prestigious Rolls-Royce High Performing Supplier Group (HPSG), a distinction held by only around 30 companies worldwide.

ASG Aerospace has strengthened its commitment to manufacturing excellence after three of its specialist businesses were recognised through the aerospace industry's SC21 continuous improvement programme during Farnborough International Airshow 2026.

ASG Aerospace is manufacturing major components for the next phase of Airbus' Wing of Tomorrow programme. Today, ASG Aerospace manufactures large, highly complex structural components for the programme, processed through its own customer approved surface treatment facility.

This year's Farnborough International Airshow marks the first appearance of Air Marshal (retd) Greg Bagwell CB CBE as Executive Chairman of ASG Aerospace following his appointment in June.

ASG Aerospace has launched a new look and website presenting the company as one business with vertically integrated precision engineering capability across seven locations in the UK and Germany.

Mandy Ridyard, Director of Marketing and Communications at ASG Aerospace, joined the panel discussion at the launch of Flightpath to Growth, the Aerospace Growth Partnership's review of the sector one year on from the Industrial Strategy.

The doors have opened at Farnborough International Airshow 2026, bringing together aerospace manufacturers, technology leaders and supply chain partners from across the world for one of the industry's most significant events.
