NP Aerospace ramps up UK-based armoured vehicle assembly and integration capabilities
/NP Aerospace, the global vehicle integrator and armour manufacturer, has today announced the ramp up of their UK-based armoured vehicle assembly and integration capabilities, to augment their established survivability and through life support services offering.
NP Aerospace is currently in the process of assembling and integrating over 150 specialist armoured vehicle systems, with yet more expected throughout 2025. The vehicle systems in assembly, range from complete Civilian Armoured Vehicles (CAVs) and fully integrated tactical vehicles to armoured cab sub-systems.
This announcement coincides with The International Armoured Vehicles conference taking place in Farnborough, UK, 21-23 January 2025.
Since the announcement of the acquisition of the assets of Jankel Armouring Limited in June 2024, NP Aerospace has novated several former Jankel Armouring Limited contracts.
In September 2024, NP Aerospace announced the receipt of seven individual vehicle related contracts from UK MoD. Since then, a further three vehicle related contracts have been placed, one from Belgium for the remainder of their LTTV fleet and a further two from undisclosed customers for specialist integrated armoured vehicles. In total, NP Aerospace is currently delivering on 9 different vehicle assembly and integration related contracts from 4 different global customers - both ministries of defence and industry vehicle OEM partners. This new work sits alongside NP Aerospace’s established vehicle survivability, support, post design services and spares activity.
NP Aerospace is already fully established as a trusted global supplier of vehicle-related products and services. With this ramp up, NP Aerospace is now in the ideal position to deliver UK-based assembly and integration of full or partial vehicle systems for military customers and vehicle OEM industry partners. NP Aerospace has the required facilities, skills, knowledge, supply chain and processes in place to deliver exactly what the customers require, with a proven and resilient track record.
Since the announcement of the acquisition of the assets of Jankel Armouring Limited, NP Aerospace has now recruited upwards of 50 more staff, continuing their successful growth trajectory.
