Rowan Precision enjoys another successful Farnborough International Air Show

Our team visited the air show this week, and connected with the best of advanced manufacturing

As the aerospace industry gathers at the Farnborough International Airshow, the event continues to showcase the innovation, collaboration and engineering excellence behind UK manufacturing.

For Birmingham precision engineering specialist Rowan Precision, Farnborough is one of the most important events in the aerospace calendar. It brings together aircraft manufacturers, Tier One suppliers, technology innovators and specialist engineering businesses from around the world.

For companies supplying CNC machined components into aerospace, the show offers insight into new technologies, future programmes and the changing needs of the global supply chain.

Technical Sales Manager Neil Williams said: “We love Farnborough because it showcases everything that’s exciting about aerospace. It’s where innovation meets manufacturing and where the supply chain comes together to share ideas and look ahead.”

Every two years, Farnborough highlights the technologies shaping commercial aircraft, defence, advanced air mobility and sustainable aviation. Behind every aircraft on display is a network of precision engineering companies producing critical components to exacting standards.

For Rowan Precision, that is where the company adds value. It manufactures precision CNC machined components for highly regulated sectors where accuracy, repeatability and traceability are essential.

CFO Glenn Aston said Farnborough underlines the role of specialist SMEs in aerospace. “Every programme depends on a wider network of precision engineering businesses manufacturing critical components to exacting standards.”

The UK aerospace sector continues to offer long-term opportunities, with investment in commercial aviation, defence and next-generation technologies supporting demand for precision-machined parts.

For Rowan Precision, Farnborough is more than an airshow. It is a celebration of engineering ambition, manufacturing excellence and the partnerships driving aerospace innovation forward.
