GKN Opens Engineering Center In Filton, UK

UK-based GKN Aerospace has opened a new engineering and technology center at its site at Filton, near Bristol, as part of an ongoing program to add to its global engineering capability. The center, GKN’s fourth, will focus on future wing structure design and manufacture.

“Bristol is now established as the heart of our global wing structures manufacturing activity,” said technical director Rich Oldfield. “With the National Composites Center close by and strong links into local academic research programs, this is the ideal base for developing our engineering capability.”
