Nasmyth Group acquires Arden Precision

Engineering products and services supplier Nasmyth Group has acquired the trade and certain assets of Solihull-based Arden Precision. Arden provides precision machining including CNC turning, CNC milling, four and five-axis milling and 3D machining, as well as CMM inspection facilities suited to a range of components destined for aerospace applications. Peter Smith, chairman and chief executive of Nasmyth Group, commented that Arden has a “reputation for quality… earned with such high profile clients as Rolls-Royce sub-contractors Aero Engine Controls and Meggitt.” He said staff would benefit from “becoming part of a precision engineering group offering a truly optimised, international, single source supply chain,” as it will “create exciting new opportunities for investment, development and future growth.”

Nasmyth Arden, as the business will now be called, will continue to operate from Solihull and will be constituted as a division of Bulwell Precision Engineers, one of Nasmyth Group’s wholly-owned subsidiaries that itself specialises in all aspects of the production of components and mechanical assemblies for aerospace and similar high quality and precision requirements. Nasmyth operates predominantly in several sectors, including aerospace, defence and specialist automotive, to which it provides components for motorsport and high performance vehicles.
