A Leamington supplier to the aerospace industry was among 60 Midlands businesses celebrating after making international contacts potentially worth millions of pounds at the Aerospace Opportunities 2009 event.
More than 40 buyers from major international aerospace companies from countries including the US, Spain, Brazil, Germany, France, China, India, Switzerland, Ireland and the UK met representatives from Midlands aerospace companies at the event at the Rolls Royce Learning and Development Centre in Derby.
Ricardo UK of Leamington provides transmission products and engineering services and decided six years ago to look for business in the aerospace industry.
Mick Strong, sales engineer, said: "It's our third time here and we met with 17 buyers in total and we've got a really good feeling about most of them. One buyer from Michigan was so impressed that he decided to come and see us in Leamington while he's here!"
The event was funded by UK Trade & Investment, Advantage West Midlands and East Midlands Development Agency and supported by the Midlands Aerospace Alliance.
