SPIROL announced that Ford Aerospace Ltd will be joining the SPIROL group of companies.
Ford Aerospace specializes in manufacturing high-precision metal components and sub-assemblies for the aerospace, industrial, and high-technology sectors.
SPIROL is a successful, family-owned company with a rich history also closely tied to aviation development. In addition, SPIROL’s core principle is to continuously reinvest back into the business to ensure long-term, enhanced success and better serve its customers. This principle is also firmly held by Ford Aerospace and therefore the synergies in markets, products, history and approach to providing value to its customers ties SPIROL and Ford closely together.
Ford Aerospace’s technical skills in ‘space compensating’ management the production of laminated and solid shims which ensures fast, precision tolerance compensation used on products such as fuselages, gearboxes and movable components was a key offering that attracted SPIROL. These solid and laminated shims enable clients to reduce the stock of individual shims and offer the option of “sizing” a particular shim by adjusting the shim pack to the desired thickness on assembly. These products simplify the assembly process while simultaneously reducing the overall cost of the assembly.
