Melrose Industries is a focused aerospace group with activities in engine components and structures, operating in both metallic and composite materials. The group has significant risk and revenue sharing partnership (RRSP) investments on multiple engine programmes.
Melrose is negotiating the current industry turbulence from supply chain issues well, assisted by its strong position in the engines aftermarket. A further £250m buyback has been announced, but equally important is the £300m in investment into areas such as additive fabrication to drive growth ahead of the market.
