Press releaseIssued by Socomore Group and published as received — not written by Airframer’s editors.

Socomore is proud to announce its acquisition of Microset Products Ltd, a UK-based company specialising in advanced replication materials for engineering inspections. This strategic move enhances Socomore's Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) capabilities and solidifies its presence in the UK.

Located in Hinckley, near Birmingham, UK, Microset Products Ltd has been at the forefront of replication technology for over 40 years. The company specialises in a range of applications critical to assessing surface damage, finish, quality control of internal surfaces and dimensions, crack detection, and metallography.

These solutions are particularly invaluable in sectors where traditional NDT methods fall short, such as the notable underwater inspection of North Sea oil installations.

By integrating Microset's expertise and renowned product line, including their flagship replication materials, with Socomore's existing NDT solutions — such as the Dynamold DMR-series replication systems, Babbco's penetrant and magnetic testing products, and comprehensive lighting, materials, and services — Socomore is poised to offer an unparalleled range of high-resolution replication materials.

This synergy not only strengthens Socomore's portfolio but also expands its footprint in the UK, enhancing supply chain efficiency and customer service through localised operations.
