Newby Foundries are a leading provider of high-quality ferrous and non-ferrous castings
Newby Foundries Investment Casting has successfully achieved AS9100 accreditation, marking a significant step in the company’s expansion into the aerospace and defence market. This milestone demonstrates the company’s commitment to meeting the highest industry standards and positions it to serve new sectors with increased confidence and capability.
The accreditation was secured within just 11 months, highlighting the strength of the facility’s quality systems, process controls, and organisational discipline. During this period, the company also delivered a substantial investment programme to enhance capacity and capability in anticipation of growing aerospace demand. Upgrades included improved insulation and temperature management in the shell room, implementation of a comprehensive shell management system, and the installation of new wax manufacturing presses.
The facility is capable of producing investment castings up to 75 kg using air melt technology and works with a broad range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials, including Inconel, duplex and stainless steels, copper alloys, and aluminium. The operation can accommodate both high and low volume production, providing flexibility to meet a wide range of customer requirements. Additional capabilities include soluble wax processing, full component traceability, and part marking, all fully aligned with strict aerospace requirements.
This achievement represents the first stage in a wider strategic programme to bring the full breadth of capabilities across the Newby Foundries Group to the aerospace market. Beyond investment casting, the Group also provides machining, sand casting, and die casting services, with AS9100 accreditation for the Newby Foundries Aluminium facility expected shortly, further strengthening the Group’s aerospace offering.
Newby Foundries looks forward to supporting both current and future aerospace programmes as it continues to enhance its group-wide capabilities and meet the evolving needs of the sector.
