Global armour manufacturer gears up for expansion plans

Coventry-based manufacturer NP Aerospace is expanding its UK-based armoured vehicle assembly and integration capabilities.

The plans aim to improve its existing survivability and lifecycle support services.

Currently, NP Aerospace is assembling and integrating over 150 specialised armoured vehicle systems, with additional units expected throughout 2025.

The systems being assembled range from complete Civilian Armoured Vehicles (CAVs) and fully integrated tactical vehicles to armoured cab sub-systems.

James Kempston, NP Aerospace CEO said: “We’re very pleased indeed to announce the ramp-up of our UK-based armoured vehicle assembly and integration capabilities. ‘So, what’s next?’ is an obvious question for most people to ask post-acquisition, and I’m proud to say that we’re progressing at our expected pace. Since the acquisition in June 2024, we’ve taken the time to get things right and the talent we’ve secured has given us the critical foundations upon which to provide quality services to a global customer base.

“Going forward, our priority remains the delivery of the key contracts we’ve secured while, at the same time, demonstrating to a wider global audience including International OEMs, that NP Aerospace is the UK-based vehicle system assembly, integration and support partner of choice.”
