Join the Derby and Nottingham Network for this informative in-person tour of Surface Technology, focusing on surface enhancement.

Don't miss this exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the critical surface enhancement techniques that keep the Aviation, Space, and Defence industries moving forward.

This insightful event kicks off with coffee and an introduction to who we are, what we do, and why surface enhancement is so vital to the performance and longevity of metal components in high-demand environments.

You’ll then enjoy a guided tour of the facilities, where you’ll get an up-close view of key processes including:
🔧 Shot Peening – improving fatigue life and stress resistance
🔥 Thermal Spray – protecting against wear, corrosion, and heat
⚙️ C.A.S.E. (Chemically Accelerated Surface Enhancement) – advanced technology for superior surface finishing

We’ll wrap up with a light lunch, open Q&A, and networking, giving you the chance to connect with industry professionals, ask questions, and share ideas.
