Precision aerospace specialist Zenix Aerospace is attending Farnborough Airshow 2026, its first international air show since becoming an independent company on 31 December 2025.

Zenix Aerospace, a $500m global precision aerospace business headquartered in Birmingham, is exhibiting at Farnborough International Airshow 2026 (20–24 July), marking its first major industry appearance as a fully independent group.

The company operates seven manufacturing sites across the United Kingdom, the United States, Thailand and Malaysia — four countries, three continents — and a workforce of over 2,000 colleagues. Zenix was carved out from other organisations on 31 December 2025, establishing a standalone group with its own systems, governance and executive leadership.

Zenix Aerospace specialises in the demanding end of the aerospace supply chain: specialist surface treatments and special processes, precision and hard-metal machining, and complex assemblies. Its programmes span commercial aero-engines and aerostructures, defence, space and industrial gas turbines — sectors where tolerances are measured in microns and quality is not negotiable.

In the six months since independence, Zenix has completed the carve-out on schedule, built out operating-company leadership across all seven sites, and maintained uninterrupted delivery performance and customer quality approvals throughout the transition. The company holds a breadth of approvals and operates specialist processes that are difficult to replicate across a footprint spanning Europe, North America and Asia.

Farnborough is the natural stage for Zenix to introduce ourselves to the international aerospace community as an independent business. In six months we have built the foundations of a standalone group without missing a beat on delivery. We arrive at Farnborough with a clear ambition: to grow into one of the leading independent specialists in our field, both organically and through acquisition. We look forward to meeting the partners and customers who will be part of that journey.
