Actuation specialist Claverham has seen a massive increase in sales since becoming part of the global Hamilton Sundstrand defence systems group 18 months ago. Claverham (Hall 3,D7) has won substantial contracts in new key markets since joining Hamilton Sundstrand.

The company exhibited here in 2000, and since the takeover has been transformed into a valued member of a significant US and European based multi-national group capable of offering complete aircraft and weapon subsystem solutions.

Claverham Group was formed following the acquisition of Fairey Hydraulics (FHL) from Fairey Group in 1998.

The company employs 315 people at its factory near Bristol in south-west England. Claverham is part of Hamilton Sundstrand's flight systems and service group, a major systems house created to expand the flight systems capabilities and aftermarket services offered by Hamilton Sundstrand.

Claverham is carrying out ground-breaking development work on a number of programmes, including HEAT, bringing the dream of an all-electric aircraft closer to reality.

Chief Executive Alan Bean says: "We are delighted to have the opportunity to present the new Claverham at Farnborough 2002. Our new status as part of the Hamilton Sundstrand global family has brought unprecedented business successes and created a number of new business opportunities that prior to our joining would have been impossible to consider."
