The International Group has announced the launch of International Aerospace & Defence Alloys – a dedicated business focused on high-integrity alloys for aerospace and defence programmes.

IADA separates the Sheffield-based group’s defence and aerospace capabilities from its energy products division, giving primes, Tier 1s and specialist suppliers a distinct commercial front, approvals pathway and customer interface built for A&D requirements, while continuing to draw on the group’s integrated manufacturing base in Sheffield.

By aligning stockholding, forging and heat treatment, precision engineering, additive manufacturing and advanced NDT under one accountable owner, the new company aims to reduce handoffs, shorten qualification cycles and provide fully traceable documentation from billet to release.

Enquiries are open immediately ahead of formal go-live before year-end, with a dedicated team in place to manage approvals, audits and programme onboarding for both aerospace and defence customers.
