ASG Aerospace expands SC21 excellence as Rolls-Royce recognises Group companies at Farnborough International Airshow
Three ASG Aerospace businesses have been recognised under the SC21 programme at Farnborough International Airshow, with ASG Arrowsmith receiving a Silver award for the 11th consecutive year and ASG TGM and ASG AMF each receiving Bronze awards.
The awards were presented by Mark Procter, Vice President from Rolls-Royce and Steve Collins of ADS, who leads the SC21 programme, in recognition of sustained performance across quality, delivery and operational excellence.
SC21, developed by ADS in partnership with industry, provides a recognised framework that encourages aerospace manufacturers to strengthen performance through continuous improvement, collaboration and world-class manufacturing practices. For businesses supplying complex aerospace components, SC21 recognition demonstrates far more than compliance with industry standards. It reflects a culture where investment in people, processes and technology delivers consistently high levels of customer performance.
ASG Arrowsmith's Silver award marks more than a decade of continuous recognition. The business specialises in complex CNC-machined components and high-performance alloy engine systems, supplying precision-engineered parts for some of the industry's most demanding engine programmes.
Managing Director Jason Aldridge says the award recognises the commitment shown by colleagues throughout the business every day.
"SC21 reflects the way our team approaches manufacturing. Every improvement we make, every investment we undertake and every programme we deliver contributes to building confidence with our customers. Receiving this recognition for an 11th consecutive year is something the entire business can be proud of and we thank Rolls-Royce for their ongoing support."
The Silver award for ASG TGM recognises strong and improving performance across its precision machining operations.
Sarah Stephens, Managing Director of ASG TGM, says the recognition belongs to the whole team.
"Moving from Bronze to Silver is a real achievement and one our whole team has earned. It reflects the improvements we have made across the business and the hard work and attention to detail our people bring to every component we manufacture. It demonstrates the consistency our customers rely on, and we have every intention of building on it."
ASG AMF's Bronze award recognises its performance across ultra-high vacuum components and clean assembly for aerospace, semiconductor and scientific markets.
Zack Kirkman, Technical Manager of ASG AMF, believes the award demonstrates the progress the business continues to make.
"Our customers work at the leading edge of technology and expect precision and reliability in everything we deliver. This recognition shows the commitment of our team and the progress we are making as a business."
The presentations come as aerospace manufacturers increase production rates across commercial aviation and defence programmes, placing even greater importance on resilient, capable and continuously improving supply chains.
For ASG Aerospace, the recognition reflects the progress already achieved and reinforces its commitment to supporting the next generation of aerospace programmes through precision engineering and long-term customer partnerships.
