en.Wedoany.com Reported - UK-based Wallwork Group will arrive at the 2026 Farnborough International Airshow with the news that its heat treatment capacity has doubled. The company states that the investment in a second Quintus Technologies Hot Isostatic Press is a key talking point for this year's show, enabling it to double its HIP capacity and strengthen process continuity for UK and European customers.

Group Director Simeon Collins said: "Farnborough 2026 is the ideal platform to showcase how Wallwork is investing in the future of aerospace manufacturing. Our second Quintus HIP significantly expands customer capacity, while our full range of certified heat treatment, surface engineering and brazing services provide manufacturers with a reliable, single-source partner."

Beyond Hot Isostatic Pressing, Wallwork offers extensive heat treatment capabilities across its sites in Manchester, Newcastle, Birmingham and Cambridge, including deep pit furnaces for large components and fifteen vacuum furnaces. The company operates six plasma nitriding units, providing low-distortion surface hardening to enhance wear resistance and fatigue life for aerospace components such as landing gear parts, engine parts and fasteners. Specialist PVD coating capabilities at the Cambridge facility, vacuum brazing services, and the UKAS-accredited mechanical testing laboratory are also on display.

Wallwork is one of the UK's largest independent aerospace heat treatment and hard coating specialists, holding NADCAP and AS9100 certifications, and has served the sector for over 60 years. The company operates a dedicated national commercial transport fleet, offering customers collection and delivery services with a single point of responsibility.
