UK-founded precision-casting company making superalloy turbine components for jet engines and industrial gas turbines.
UK-founded precision-casting company making superalloy turbine components for jet engines and industrial gas turbines.
Casts turbine parts from nickel and cobalt superalloys, so sales follow jet-engine and industrial gas-turbine build rates: frames, housings and nozzles for aerospace, airfoils for gas turbines. A smaller turbocharger-wheel line serves vehicle makers. Operates under the Doncasters name; the listed parent was formerly Alloy Topco.
In one line: A UK precision-casting peer to Howmet Aerospace.
Moat: narrow (process know-how, customer qualification, IP / patents). Precision superalloy casting for jet engines requires long, costly aerospace qualification.
Headquarters: Derby, United Kingdom · Founded: 1778
