Hot off the Press

To help further its expansion in China, Gardner Aerospace, a Sweden-based supplier of aircraft parts and sub-assemblies, has invested in a high-pressure fluid cell press from Quintus Technologies, Lewis Center, OH.

“We chose Quintus because they are an established manufacturer of quality presses,” says Christopher Owen, project director for Chengdu at Gardner Aerospace. Gardner recently opened a 484,000-sq.-ft. manufacturing facility in Chengdu, China. “The facility allows Gardner to support China’s rapidly developing domestic market for aerospace parts while providing an attractive option for Western customers, Owen explains. “Gardner,” he says, “is committed to becoming one of the world’s top 75 aerospace companies by 2023.”
