Norwich Aero Products

In January 1999, The Roxboro Group acquired Norwich Aero Products, of New York State, USA. Norwich – as the company is often called – makes a number of products similar and complementary to those of Weston Aerospace. Its customers include many major US aerospace companies with whom Weston has not previously worked, and it is for this reason that the company was acquired. Approximately two thirds of all aerospace business is done in the USA.

Weston Aerospace and Norwich Aero Products are run effectively as one company, although legally we remain as two separate companies. It is our intent to make sure that Weston benefits as much as it can from Norwich’s presence in the USA, and that Norwich benefits as much as it can from Weston’s presence in Europe.
