Specialty steel producer Bohler Aerospace, a division of voestalpine High Performance Metals UK, is highlighting at Farnborough International Airshow its strong increase in revenues and customers in the two years since its founding. While declining to cite specific numbers, Bohler attributes the performance to its “significant stock investment in aerospace materials in both British Standard and A.M.S. grades, combined with a great team work ethic.

 


Yet Bohler (Hall 4, Stand 41145) acknowledges the limitations of stockholding materials alone in serving the needs of customers, which include major turbine engine manufacturers, and is dedicated to partnering with them to find fast and efficient solutions, the company said. That objective is supported by the value-added services Bohler offers, which give customers access to cutting, machining, beveling, testing, and other assistance, including on-site testing for customers requiring additional certification to that supplied by mill test reports. These services can be harnessed to create turnkey customer solutions.

 


Additionally, as a major special steel producer, parent company Bohler Edelstahl’s metallurgical knowledge and manufacturing options can be leveraged to support specific customer requirements, from supply of additive manufacturing-branded powders to finished parts.
