Poeton Industries will be exhibiting at the Farnborough Airshow 2012, which runs from the 9th to 15th July. We will be on Pod 2 of the WEAF (West of England Aerospace Forum) stand which is part of the UK Pavilion in Hall 1.
Both Poeton (Gloucester) and Poeton (Cardiff) have passed stringent auditing by BSI and achieved the prestigious Rev C accreditation to AS 9100. The previous Rev B covered the aviation industry, whereas the new Revision C encompasses MoD, military, aerospace & space technologies.
Poeton are pleased to announce the appointment of Lindsey Ward as Operations Manager at its Gloucester facility.
Major plant investment, and the addition of 24 hour processing capacity, allowed Poeton (Gloucester) to offer customers an average turnaround time of only 3 working days for single operation, hard, sulphuric and chromic anodising requirements.
We can now confirm that our Cardiff facility has received formal Approval to apply Tartaric Sulphuric Anodising (TSA) to Airbus Definition Process Specification AIPS02-01-003 to provide corrosion protection and paint pre treatment on aluminium.
Poeton Industries Limited are pleased announce that their Cardiff facility has been successfully audited by Airbus for the application of TSA (Tartaric Sulphuric Anodising) as well as NDT, Prime / Paint and solid lubricant and can now offer you immediate capacity for the processing of parts required to support the A350XWB build program.
Many medical components need the best long life non-stick coatings. Trevor Amos, Director of Sales at Poeton Industries, considers the advantage of their new Apticote 810 product range.

REACH is a European Union regulation concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and restriction of Chemicals. It came into force on 1st June 2007. Potentially, it could pose a significant threat to some crucial coating technologies.
With the introduction of round-the-clock shift patterns in 2010, Poeton have been able to provide lead-times that are the envy of the industry. Single operation, coat-all-over lead times are now running at an average of only 4.5 working days and improving! Obviously, masking takes longer, but here again Poeton investment in highly skilled masking operators, and the ability to design and manufacture hard mask tooling in-house, both help to speed up productivity.
In this ever-demanding world of lean manufacturing we often get asked to pull forward order schedules to meet urgent build requirements or to support R&O/AoG demands. Our fast-track service is what you need!
Following two years of close working with Rolls Royce, Poeton (Gloucester) Limited have gained qualification approval for the application of plasma sprayed abradable coatings to the very exacting RPS 427 Standard, using the latest Triplex Pro gun™ technology.
Poeton are proud to announce that they have been approved by Pratt & Whitney Canada for the application of Apticote 350 hard anodic/polymer composite anodising.
Apticote 355 is the latest technology breakthrough for users of hard anodic coatings. It offers corrosion protection far in excess of that acheived by standard hard anodising.
‘Slippery Nickel’ is the name many customers use when referring to our hugely successful Nickel/PTFE composite coating, Apticote 450.
