en.Wedoany.com Reported - Axvik Group has announced the acquisition of Pentaxia, an advanced composite materials manufacturer serving customers in the defense, aerospace, automotive, and motorsport sectors.

Pentaxia complements Axvik's existing UK composites business, Slingsby Advanced Composites, and this acquisition broadens Axvik's expertise in composite materials and manufacturing technologies. With well-equipped facilities, Pentaxia possesses significant production capacity, long-standing customer relationships, and a proven track record of successfully delivering technically complex projects across multiple demanding end markets. The company's certifications and delivery record provide a solid foundation for continued growth in both existing and new projects. The current facilities offer substantial room for expansion, allowing Pentaxia to further increase capacity as demand for advanced composites grows.

"Investing in and developing well-positioned companies in the aerospace and defense supply chain is exactly Axvik's mission, and the addition of Pentaxia to the Group alongside Slingsby Advanced Composites is a clear step in expanding our composites footprint in the UK," said Mark Brixey, CEO of Axvik Group. "The two companies bring complementary capabilities to Axvik in terms of materials, technologies, and applications. Pentaxia has a broad capability base, long-standing customer relationships, and significant capacity within its existing production facilities. Our role is to support Pentaxia's growth and development, not to change what is already working well."

Pentaxia and Slingsby Advanced Composites will continue to operate under their respective brands. Axvik provides strategic, growth, and capital allocation support to these companies, while day-to-day operational responsibilities remain with each company.
