As aerospace manufacturers work to increase production and strengthen supply chains, manufacturing decisions are becoming increasingly important. This article explores how integrated expertise across casting, machining and fabrication can help OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers identify the most appropriate solution for aircraft interiors, defence aerospace and emerging UAV applications.

Expromet Technologies Group will be exhibiting at ILA Berlin 2026 (10-12 June, Hall A, Stand 161), supplying cast, forged, machined and fabricated metal components to aerospace and defence OEMs and Tier 1 contractors.

Expromet’s solution is to centralise the supply of fully finished cast, machined, fabricated and sourced components through a single, capable and technically integrated manufacturing group. As Expromet Technologies Group CEO Rob Guest explains in an article published in May’s Manufacturing Today.

Every metal component in an aircraft cabin must be strong, lightweight and certifiable to aerospace standards. The manufacturing process selected for each part - cast, forged or machined - directly determines cost, lead time and structural performance.

DPRTE 2026 highlighted a defence procurement landscape focused on speed, resilience and supplier confidence. This article explores what those priorities mean in practice for component sourcing, manufacturing readiness and the growing importance of assurance, flexibility and dependable UK supply.

Expromet will be at AIX 2026 on Stand 5C04 to discuss aircraft interiors manufacturing solutions spanning casting, forging, machining and fabrication.
