Produmax takes wing command

The Otley-based high-precision engineeing firm, which serves industries including aerospace, medical, oil and gas and telecommunications and recorded a turnover of £4.7m last year, has landed the contract with US-based Moog Aviation, to provide machined parts within the wing that enable flight control.

Moog Aviation provides the design, integration and support for systems on a number of commercial aircraft, which control wing components in response to pilot commands. Jeremy Ridyard, managing director of Produmax, said that he was “absolutely delighted with such a prestigious and lucrative contact, which is a shot in the arm for British manufacturing”. Produmax has worked with Yorkshire accountants and business advisers Garbutt & Elliott as the business has expanded.
