WIS Group has a progressive culture that invests
extensively in our people, our products and our capability.
This versatility and diversity enables highly specialised
teams to operate a co-ordinated and collaborative approach
that combines understanding with knowledge and skills
with experience.
We also invest continuously in research and development.
We have successfully patented innovations in production
machinery, such as our preformer hood and vacuum
membrane motion control system.
We continually challenge our processes by putting
our customers’ goals at the very centre of our thinking.

2. We design, manufacture
and install automated
machinery and systems
for the Aerospace and
Composites sectors.
WIS provides a range of thermal forming
systems for dry carbon fibre fabric, pre-preg
and other woven materials. The modular
design of our Preformers allows our
engineering team to tailor the system to
customer requirements.
Our machines feature ‘best in class’
controls equipment for data acquisition,
precision motion and temperature control
with the multi-zoned infra-red heating
system ensuring temperature uniformity
even with complex shapes. Design and
build of mechanical, electrical and
software systems is carried out in-house
by our team of specialist engineers
to exacting standards.
We design and build all types of spray
and preparation booths that can handle
small parts, large scale fuselage and
wings. These booths incorporate steam,
gas or electric heating sources and operate
to high temperature uniformity tolerances.
Our capability also includes automated
paint lines with integrated flight bar transfer
systems and robotics. Our engineering
team can also upgrade existing spray
booths to modern manufacturing
standards allowing for more efficient
and supportable plant.
We have expertise in chemical treatment
from dosing and temperature control
on small manual lines to full SCADA/PLC
control of automated transporters for
fuselage. Our capability includes automated
chemical milling lines with high accuracy
laser positioning, safety interlocked chemical
pumping systems for tank make-up and
chemical treatment lines with fully integrated
rectifier controls. We can also supply and
install effluent plant controls including
monitoring, alarm handling, dosing and
diversion systems.

Our customers really benefit from
our long term relationships with
the world’s leading players in
instrumentation, process control,
factory automation and robotics.
As partners of companies such
as Omron, Eurotherm, Emerson
Process Management and Motoman,
we have exclusive access to
pioneering research and world-class
product design.
The quality of our product portfolio
combined with our in-house
engineering expertise means we
can integrate these products into
tailored processes and systems
of the highest functionality whilst
retaining value for money.
We manufacture all MCC’s and
control panels for our machines
and systems in-house. Our team
of software engineers takes
care of every aspect including
programming, testing, commissioning
and customer training.
