ASG Aerospace has deep roots, and the oldest go back to 1846. But the story in this graphic isn’t about seven separate companies. It’s about how they became one.
A shared heritage
The group’s engineering history begins in Bremerhaven in 1846, with the making of precision compasses for ships. It continues in Liverpool in 1887, then through a generation of British engineering firms founded between 1966 and 2001 in Yorkshire, the Midlands and the North West.
That history now belongs to the whole group. Every site, and every person in it, inherits more than 500 years of combined experience in precision engineering. It is the foundation ASG Aerospace builds on.
Coming together
Between 2015 and 2023, those businesses joined the group one by one. Each step brought new capability, new markets and new expertise into a single organisation. The aim has always been to build one group, working towards a shared goal.
One ASG Aerospace
Today ASG Aerospace is a vertically integrated precision engineering group with seven sites across the UK and Germany. It serves aerospace, defence, semiconductor and scientific markets, and it supplies customers including Boeing and Airbus directly.
The group brings together a broad range of capability across its sites. Each site contributes its own expertise. Connecting that expertise more closely, all the time, so that customers can draw on more of what ASG Aerospace offers.
Why it matters
In aerospace and defence, trust is earned over decades. The group’s long history shows staying power. Its unity is what makes that history useful to customers today, through shared expertise and the strength that comes from working together.
The next chapter is about building on that as one team. That means investing in people, apprentices and capability across every site, so that the skills developed over 180 years keep growing for decades to come.
Thank you to everyone across ASG Aerospace who has made this happen.
One group, one team.
