Attwater to debut new low FST range at Advanced Engineering Show

Industrial laminates specialist Attwater is to exhibit at the Advanced Engineering Show for the tenth year, where it will showcase a newly developed low FST range of materials offering a strong, lightweight solution with excellent environmental credentials.

This year’s show takes place on October 30 and 31 at the NEC in Birmingham. It is the largest expo of its kind in the UK, and Attwater will exhibit alongside global brands such as BAE Systems, Gulf Stream, Ferrari and Mercedes Benz.

Attwater appoints new managing director

Industrial laminates specialist Attwater & Sons has appointed industry veteran Andy Goode as its new managing director.

Andy has worked within the sector since 1983, and has spent the last 18 years at Preston-based Attwater, most recently as the company’s production director.

Attwater produces machined components for sectors including aerospace, automotive, rail, marine and power generation.

Andy’s main objective in his new role is to steer the fifth generation family-owned company, which recently celebrated its 150th year in business, towards its next century-and-a-half. Training of existing staff, and the recruitment of four new apprentices, will be his early focus.

Andy States reaches Custom Composites milestone

The team at Custom Composites would like to thank Andy States for 25 years - and counting - of dedicated service to the company.

Andy was just 24 when he joined us, originally as a machine operator. He then advanced through the ranks and is now our general manager. Although we are known the world over for the carbon fibre and glass tubes we manufacture for nuclear power and automotive industries - and many more - Andy confesses that he didn’t know this at the time.
