Midland Aerospace Ltd, part of the engineering precision business of Calder Group, has secured a production contract for a machined structures package for the A380 aircraft, won under contract from Safran Electrical & Power, part of the Safran Group. A three year Long Term Agreement (LTA) was signed recently to provide a range of CNC machined and other manufactured products and services to Safran.
Midland has recently added new customer support staff and commissioned a new 5 axis DMG DMU 65FD high speed pallet loading CNC Milling machine to dedicate to this production contract. The contract also includes a “turnkey engineering and machine maintenance support solution” in partnership with the CNC machine tool provider DMG MORI.
