requirements. It is a complement to ISO 9001:2015 quality
management standard and is specifically designed to meet rigorous
aerospace industry requirements and enhance product safety and
quality.

have achieved this exacting standard which opens up the North
American aerospace market to us. We have recently added to our
business development team in the US and now have a dedicated North
America VP of Business Development who will concentrate on
high-tech markets in the region, including aerospace. We are
already involved with several major military and civil aerospace
players with early stage tests and development programmes
underway.

Hardide develops, manufactures and applies advanced technology
tungsten-carbide coatings to a wide range of engineering
components. Its patented technology is unique in combining, in one
material, a mix of toughness and resistance to abrasion, erosion
and corrosion; together with the ability to coat accurately
interior surfaces and complex geometries. The material is proven to
offer dramatic improvements in component life, particularly when
applied to components that operate in very aggressive environments.
This results in cost savings through reduced downtime and increased
operational efficiency. Customers include leading companies
operating in oil and gas exploration and production, valve and pump
manufacturing.
