GKN Invests in East Cowes Facility

GKN Aerospace has decided to fund a facility expansion at its East Cowes, UK site, in preference to its operations in the United States and other parts of the UK. GKN's expertise in composites has resulted in the award of some major contracts, one of the most significant being the wing spars for the Airbus A400M. The East Cowes area is home to a number of other composites companies, including SP Systems, Vestas and a variety of marine companies.
