ANT Industries, a cornerstone of the UK’s aerospace supply chain, is embarking on a strategic expansion of its quality assurance team as it gears up to meet unprecedented demand. The precision engineering firm, based in Atherstone, has announced the creation of two new Quality Engineer roles at its Warwickshire headquarters — a move that signals both sustained business growth and a deepening commitment to excellence in aerospace manufacturing.
With a history stretching back to 1972, ANT Industries has long been a trusted first-tier supplier to the aerospace and power generation sectors. Today, the company is navigating a record order book, with Managing Director Shaun Rowley calling it “one of the most exciting periods in our company’s history.” At the heart of this growth lies a relentless focus on quality, guided by the internationally recognised AS9100 Quality Management System — a standard that underpins much of the modern aerospace sector.
“This exciting phase of growth, marked by a record order book, necessitates a strengthening of our already robust quality team,” Rowley explains. “Maintaining our AS9100 accreditation is fundamental to our success and the trust our clients place in us. These new Quality Engineer positions will be crucial in ensuring we continue to uphold the quality, integrity, and precision that have defined ANT Industries for nearly five decades, as we meet increasing demand.”
The firm’s quality team is a dynamic mix of seasoned specialists and new talent, brought together under a shared mission to deliver precision without compromise. Rowley sees the new roles as more than just a response to business volume — they’re a strategic investment in the company’s future. “Working within ANT Industries’ quality team is incredibly rewarding,” he adds. “The emphasis on AS9100 provides a clear framework for ensuring the highest standards in everything we do. It’s inspiring to contribute to a company with such a strong heritage in aerospace and to be part of a team that values both experience and new perspectives as we tackle this period of growth.”
The new recruits will join a facility equipped with cutting-edge manufacturing technology, producing a range of high-spec aero engine components — from engine rings and casings to complex prismatic parts and assemblies. With quality processes embedded into every stage of production, ANT Industries continues to set benchmarks for precision and reliability in one of the world’s most demanding sectors.
For candidates looking to grow their careers in aerospace, the opportunity is clear. “The commitment to quality at ANT Industries is evident from day one,” says one recent team member. “AS9100 is at the core of everything we do here. The experienced members of the team provide invaluable guidance, and it’s exciting to be joining at a time of such significant progress and opportunity for the company.”
As aerospace programmes around the world ramp up in complexity and scale, the need for manufacturers with rigorous quality cultures has never been greater. ANT Industries is meeting that challenge head-on — not just by investing in machines, but by investing in people.
