Wallwork doubles aerospace HIP capacity with second Quintus hot isostatic press

Wallwork Group, Manchester, England, installed a second Quintus Technologies hot isostatic press (HIP) at its UK operations, doubling the company’s HIP capacity for aerospace customers and strengthening process continuity across the UK and European supply chain. The investment will be a centerpiece of the company’s presence at Farnborough International Airshow 2026 (Hall 1, Stand 1000, July 20–24), where Wallwork will showcase how the expanded HIP capability combines with one of the industry’s most comprehensive portfolios of NADCAP- and AS9100-accredited thermal processing and hard coating services. “Farnborough 2026 is the ideal platform to show how Wallwork is investing in the future of aerospace manufacturing,” said Simeon Collins, group director at Wallwork. “Our second Quintus HIP significantly expands capacity for customers, while our full range of accredited thermal processing, surface engineering, and brazing services gives manufacturers a dependable single-source partner.” HIP is a critical post-process for high-integrity aerospace components — particularly castings, additive-manufactured parts, and powder-metallurgy products — closing internal voids and improving tensile strength and fatigue performance in turbine and compressor blades, blisks, disks, structural casings, and engine parts. Wallwork is the United Kingdom’s largest independent aerospace thermal processing and hard coatings specialist, with over 60 years of industry experience, ITAR compliance, major aerospace prime approvals, and operations across Manchester, Newcastle, Birmingham, and Cambridge. Quintus Technologies, headquartered in Västerås, Sweden, is the global leader in high-pressure technology for hot isostatic pressing, sheet metal forming, and high-pressure processing.
