Based in the SBAC UK Pavilion, Stand W216A, Chief Executive Eric J Lewis and Divisional Chief Executive - Power Systems Paul Strothers will be joined by a team of engineers to discuss Doncasters' wide range of components and fully integrated supply chain solutions for aircraft engine and airframe customers.

Core manufacturing capabilities include superalloy production, precision casting (equiaxed, directionally solidified and single crystal); precision forging and ring rolling; a wide range of specialist fabrication, machining and finishing processes.

With extensive experience in the use of titanium, nickel/cobalt alloys, aluminium, metal matrix composites and all ferrous materials, major products include turbine airfoils, rings & casings, structural castings, compressor airfoils, combustion components, aerospace fabrications and exhaust assemblies.

A range of exhibits highlighting Doncasters' extensive capabilities and expertise will be on display at the show.

Commenting on Doncasters' attendance, Eric J. Lewis, CEO of the Doncasters Group, said: "We're looking forward to exhibiting at the Dubai Air Show and are excited by the opportunities that exist in the Middle East market.

"Dubai International Capital, which acquired Doncasters in May 2006, has brought the ability to identify compelling acquisitions to the group, which resulted in the $492m acquisition of North Amercian based manufacturer of fasteners and precision components FastenTech, Inc. in May this year.

"This acquisition, combined with the recent divestment of Doncasters' Medical Technologies, has created a fitter, more tightly focussed organisation.

"We have also significantly grown our market share over the past few years and are continually seeking ways to create higher value for our customers in the aero-engine market. Our flexible capabilities, supply chain expertise and effective customer support package mean we have the ability to offer complex, multi-part solutions on a global scale."
