CCR Forming which produces precision cold roll formed metal rings, won orders to supply engine components to a number of global primes and tier one companies that has pushed sales towards £1m by the end of 2022.
These contract wins mark the start of a concerted strategy from the Tipton-based company to target opportunities in the sector as aerospace customers look for greater security of supply and shorter lead times.
“Our technical expertise is really in demand by the big aero manufacturers, and this has seen our sales accelerate from £700,000 per annum to an expected £1m turnover this year,” explained Paul Harper, Managing Director of CCR Forming Ltd.
“That’s just the start for us. We believe there are lots of new opportunities out there and we are investing heavily to ensure we can attract them by delivering world class quality, precision parts, short lead teams and on-time delivery performance.”
He continued: “The new branding and rename to CCR Forming Ltd reflects a more modern approach and we are just about to press the button on a £100,000 investment in an in-house welding shop. This will give us more capacity and the agility to turnaround emergency jobs.”
CCR Forming Ltd, which is AS9100 accredited and holds supplier approvals with Leonardo, Rolls-Royce, and ITP, took its new-look and range of critical components to Farnborough International Airshow next week as part of the Midlands Aerospace Alliance Cluster.
The company’s roll forming capabilities over material thicknesses ranging from 0.20mm up to 4mm.
It can also manufacture in all grades of alloys, carbon steels, stainless steels, aluminium and titanium, with the roll forming and circling methods comparing favourably with more expensive techniques including machined forgings and spinning.
Employing 13 people at its Railway Street factory in the Black Country, CCR Forming also supplies into heating and ventilation, telecoms, rail, renewables and its traditional market of couplers for chimney flue manufacturers.
