Nasmyth Group, a leading global supplier of precision products and engineering services for the aerospace industry, is delighted to announce that Chairman and CEO, Peter Smith, has been appointed as a UK Representative on the Civil Aviation Business Unit of ASD (AeroSpace and Defence Industries Association of Europe).

ASD provides a single platform for the development of the aeronautics, space, defence and security industries across Europe by raising awareness and promoting the values and positions of its members to all EU institutions. It works closely with those members in four sector-focused Business Units (Civil Aviation, Space, Security and Defence) and six Commissions (ELT, R&T, Environment, Services, Supply Chain, and SMEs and External Affairs) that address cross-functional areas.

In joining the Civil Aviation Business Unit, Peter becomes Nasmyth’s second ASD UK Representative. Divisional Managing Director, Simon Beech, has held an equivalent position on the Supply Chain Commission for the last 4 years.

Peter Smith commented: “Our involvement in the aerospace industry’s leading representative bodies enables us to play our part in helping to shape the future of the aerospace industry and, indeed, the future of Nasmyth Group. The participation of both Simon and myself in the work of ASD is also a clear sign that Nasmyth is firmly established as an important player in the global aerospace supply chain – a tribute in itself to the hard work and dedication of all Nasmyth employees”.
