In a move to streamline its offer of single source technology solutions to aerospace customers, Nasmyth Group, a leading supplier of precision engineering services worldwide, has amalgamated three of its constituent businesses with the creation of Nasmyth Technologies.

Encompassing all of the resources of Chinn Limited, Chinn Engineering Limited and Professional Welding Services Limited (PWS), Nasmyth Technologies will be one of the UK’s most advanced, large-scale precision welding, fabrication and assembly manufacturers addressing aerospace, defence, industrial gas turbines, Nuclear  and similarly demanding sectors.  The new division will bring together all the capabilities required to work with a wide range of high performance metals and alloys, producing everything from high to low volume, complex components to precision machined lightweight structures to heavy assembled structures for specialist applications.

The division will be led by newly appointed Managing Director, Alistair Schofield, who joins Nasmyth having previously held the positions of CEO at Fairline Boats and Divisional Managing Director at Doncasters, a manufacturer of performance and tolerance critical engineering components.

Alistair commented: “I’m delighted to be joining Nasmyth Technologies at the launch of this new division. It will be an exciting challenge, and with the reputation for quality and technical excellence that Chinn, Chinn Engineering and PWS have already established for themselves, the foundations are in place for continued growth.”

Nasmyth Technologies is the first of a number of new groupings that are planned as part of a structural re-shaping of the Group.

Peter Smith, Chairman and CEO of Nasmyth Group, commented:
 “We’re confident that the integration of three of our businesses into Nasmyth Technologies, under the leadership of Alistair, will create a scale of streamlined assembly operations that will bring significant benefits to our customers.”
