FARNBOROUGH AEROSPACE CONSORTIUM JOINS EACP

The EACP warmly welcomes Farnborough Aerospace Consortium (FAC) into the community.

The trade association with national and international members is the longest established aerospace and defence trade body in the UK, providing support to some 300 companies located in southern England.

EACP Coordinator Niklas Schilling commented:

“We are very happy to see Farnborough Aerospace Consortium return to EACP as a member. Growing EACP’s presence in Great Britain is a testament to the strong link between European and British aerospace companies despite Brexit. We believe that the valuable input provided by FAC to EACP will make a noticeable difference and continue to prove the excellence of the EACP network for its clusters and members.”

Alan Fisher, chief executive officer of FAC, said:

"Joining EACP will bring many opportunities for our members and the aerospace industry across the south and south-east of Britain. It represents nearly 50 clusters from 18 countries that create a strong voice which helps businesses compete in the global market.  Collaboration on joint projects is one area from which our members will benefit.   We will also look forward to joining working groups to give our input about what can be done for our members and the sector as a whole.   For several years, our conferences have noted the change to a collaborative approach in aerospace.   Whether it be cleaner fuels or the drive to net-zero, many areas are common to all businesses.   We represent companies in the aerospace, aviation and defence sectors and their supply chains and want to keep Britain as a world leader in these industries.   Being part of EACP will help us achieve this.”

The EACP is looking forward to work together with FAC.
