METAL PROCESS SERVICES TAKES OVER ROLLS ROYCE TIER 2 GRINDING COMPANY.

MPS have just finalised their purchase of specialist grinding company Grindrite Ltd, now known as Grindrite MPS Ltd.

Grindrite have worked closely with MPS for 12 years as well as being a 2nd tier contractor to Rolls Royce so it made good sense when the opportunity arose to bring full control of the company under the umbrella of MPS, thereby expanding on the services that we can offer and giving us complete control of production and quality systems.

FOUNDERS TAKE FULL CONTROL

The founders of an East Midlands specialist thermal spray and paint company, which has a contract with Rolls-Royce, have secured 100 per cent ownership of the business after purchasing third party shares. 

The founding directors of Metal Process Services (MPS), Bob Hemstock and Russ Kingswell, have purchased a 33.3 per cent share in the business from Bulwell Precision Engineers.

MPS was founded in 1996 to provide thermal spray and coating services for the aerospace industries and is one of the small number of companies operating within this specialised sector providing services for the UK and European market. A wide range of aerospace components, including those used in the current Rolls-Royce main engine programmes, are coated, for example Trent XWB, RB211, Adour, BR710, etc. used for commercial and defence applications including the Royal Air Force Red Arrows Hawk engines. 

The company, which is based in Pinxton on the Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire boarder, now has 57 employees.

Michael Lane, accounts manager at MPS who managed the deal on behalf of the company, said: "We offer a particularly specialist service in a continually growing market place.
Thanks to the funding from NatWest, Bob and Russ have taken full ownership of the business and are able to explore opportunities for further growth. The founders have a forensic knowledge of the business and we look forward to utilising that to expand the company and our client base."
