News: Dormer expertise flying-high at international airshow

Dormer Tools will display their engineering expertise in the aerospace industry at the 2010 Farnborough International Airshow.

The Rotherham company is exhibiting at the prestigious show (July 19-23) within the North West Aerospace Alliance (NWAA) pavilion.

Dormer, which is a member of the NWAA, will use the event to showcase a selection of tooling designed specifically for cutting composite material in the aerospace sector.

The Farnborough International Airshow (FIA) is one of the world's most iconic global aviation events and holds a prominent position within the aerospace calendar.

At the last event in 2008, more than $88.7bn worth of orders was announced by business delegates at the show.

Ricky Payling, Dormer's key account manager for aerospace and composites, said: "The Farnborough Airshow will be a perfect opportunity to highlight our aerospace tooling services.

"The aerospace industry has always been at the cutting edge of engineering technology and Dormer Tools is playing a key role in advancing new innovations and techniques in cutting composite material.

"We have produced a wide range of composite drills and we will be displaying many of our high performance tools at the show, speaking face to face with other industry leaders."

Aerospace is a key focus for Dormer's R&D operations on the Advanced Manufacturing Park. With the industry's current demand for innovation, new materials and improvements in productivity, part of the R&D efforts relate to the development of new tools for the machining of advanced aerospace materials.
