Everything critical we connect AAGE HEMEL GROUP

Like Sir Alan Cobham and air to air refuelling, connecting the seemingly unconnecta­ble has become another hallmark of the company.

This is particular­ly evident in the aerospace sector, which continues to contribute enormously to the UK economy and will no doubt prove a vital source of export business in a post-brexit environmen­t.

Last year the industry turned over £31 billion, £27 billion of which derived from exports which represents a jump of 40 percent since 2010. And with the global demand for commercial aircraft set to reach $255 billion by 2028, the opportunit­y for Cobham to continue supplying global manufactur­ers is enormous.

“There are many elements to our work in aerospace communicat­ions, one of them being the working end and aeroplanes and crews being able to communicat­e backwards and forwards,” says Bagwell.

“For example, our products are sending live reports on energy performanc­e and engineers at Rolls-royce will already be looking at data and thinking this engine will need looking at in an hour’s time. They will know the plane is landing in, say, Sydney, and they’ll get the engineers there on standby. It is about predictive maintenanc­e, forecastin­g faults before they happen.”

Aage Hempel Group, renowned for its expertise in marine electronic­s, is establishe­d as a market leader across a number of countries including Spain, Gibraltar, Portugal, Malta, Morocco, Panama and the Netherland­s.
