International manufacturing group Senior plc, has acquired 100% shareholding of one of the UK’s leading composites manufacturers Atlas Composites.

Established in 1997, Atlas Composites manufacture a diverse range of composite structures and tooling for a number of industry sectors that include automotive, defence and more importantly aerospace – a key factor that triggered the acquisition interest of David Beavan, CEO of Senior Aerospace BWT.

“Over the past 6 months Atlas Composites proved themselves to be a highly responsive and technically competent supplier in supporting our engineering team with the development of composite ECU ducts for two new regional jet programmes”.

“The acquisition of Atlas Composites will enhance the structural composites capabilities within Senior Aerospace BWT and the Senior group of companies”

Speaking of the acquisition Atlas Composites MD Shaun Moloney said

“This is all about creating long term sustainable growth for UK manufacturing. I am certain with the support of the Senior group of companies we have a fantastic opportunity to achieve our goals to grow the business, and increase our exports over a shorter period of time than if we remained a privately owned company.”

“There will be no changes to the way we operate or indeed to the staff as Atlas will continue to service their current customer base of Motorsport, Aerospace, Defence, Communications etc. The major difference is that all existing customers now have the added confidence that we have the financial support of a FTSE 250 group supporting our growth and underpinning our investments in plant and people for many years to come.”

“We will retain our identity as ‘Atlas Composites’ and moving forwards the company will operate as a subsidiary of Senior UK Ltd.”

Leading local aerospace composites manufacturer Atlas Composites have committed sponsorship funds to the latest development initiative at Ilkeston Rugby.

As part of the deal Atlas Composites Managing Director Shaun Moloney has agreed to support player recruitment, retention and development for the 2012/2013 season.

Earlier this year the club re-organised their Colts (U17 and U19) structure to create an environment that would provide the final stepping stone in the development of young players before they pass through to adult rugby.

To achieve these objectives a professional structure is in place that draws on the rich pool of management and coaching talent available to the club whilst at the same time ensures continuity of personnel in key positions.

A club spokesman said, “The club are delighted to secure the assistance of Atlas Composites. Our aim is to build on the good work completed by the junior section during the formative years of young players by creating a structure that will further develop their core playing skills and prepare them for adult rugby.”

Leading UK composites manufacturer Atlas Composites has partnered with ASC Process Systems, now with a UK office based in Poole, to upgrade its autoclave processes at its 25,000 sq ft composites manufacturing facility.

A five figure investment in plant sees Atlas Composites become ASC’s first UK customer to benefit from its CPC (Composite Processing Control) software and control systems retrofit, something which Atlas Composites MD Shaun Moloney is confident will provide added value to his customers.

“Installing new CPC systems to Atlas Composites’ existing autoclaves will ensure our operators, and consequently our customers, have greater accuracy, reliability, and a greatly enhanced audit trail – all of which are key drivers for our growing aerospace customer base.”

The Advanced Engineering UK Group of events brought together OEMs, primes and supply chain tiers to meet and do business across some of the UK’s highest growth advanced engineering sectors.

The two day show combined four events under one roof, featuring Aero Engineering, Composites Engineering, Automotive and Plastic Electronics and attracted over 500+ exhibitors and a record 25% increase of circa 9,000 visitors on last years numbers.

Now in its 4th year Atlas Composites MD Shaun Moloney is in no doubt why The Composites Engineering Show is now a pivotal date in his companies calendar.

“The quality and flow of traffic on the Atlas Composites stand was more than satisfactory. Several aerospace composites enquiries we received were from genuine potential customers which will hopefully yield a tangible result over the coming months.”

“Any manufacturer involved in the composites industry should be looking to attain aerospace accreditation without delay, the opportunities for local companies are there to build a sustainable business and broaden their customer base into the aerospace and defence markets.”
