Preston based manufacturer, Attwater Group now has approval to supply its manufactured materials and machined parts into helicopter manufacture, Agusta Westland.

"This prestigious endorsement shows that our quality management system is robust enough to satisfy even the most rigorous requirements," says Dave Swarbrick Attwater quality director. "Our philosophy is to ensure that every stage of its production is strictly controlled and monitored and that all materials pass through stringent quality checks to ensure the highest product standards and performance levels."
