ComTech International www.comtechinternational.co.uk

ComTech International provides Technical Sales, Marketing and Product support for overseas manufacturers of quality aerospace components. The company was created in 1991. Since then, ComTech has grown both in Manufacturer representation and product range.

ComTech 's principals have their major focus in the aerospace industry, overseas aerospace manufacturers. Every one of the principals has quality control and inspection procedures to comply with international aerospace standards, as well as individual OEM approvals, (including Rolls Royce approvals, Airbus, Boeing and BAE approvals).

The products range includes fasteners , clips and clamps , connectors for pneumatic ducting systems, seals , precision valves, cold working – split sleeve & split mandrel, and custom designed hold open rods .

Due to ComTech's close relationship with its manufacturers, technical advice, progress enquiries and the benefits of products can be conveyed to the customer faster and more efficiently.

ComTech 's main goal lies in increasing market share through stronger customer relationships and involvement in major aerospace projects. In 1999 a northern office was opened to give a wider coverage and faster response time to the growing customer base.

MarathonNorcoAerospace Inc. - Waco, Texas

With tens of thousands of MNAI struts installed on over 90% of all commercial aircraft built since 1973, our telescoping, fixed length struts and hold-open supports have become the first choice of design engineers. Hold-open rods are in use on most major Airbus and Boeing programs. These include custom engineered parts for the A380, Airbus A330 variants and A400M as well as for Boeing 747,757 and 777 aircraft. Produced in a wide variety of sizes, shapes, lengths and special features, MNAI struts are perfectly suited for many industrial, commercial, marine and aviation applications. Every strut features a patented locking mechanism, optimum weight/strength ratio and design flexibility with multiple end-fitting compatibility, rod end bearings, universal joints, clevis pins and more. The MNAI interlock and coupling devices are qualified for use on the B777,A380 and A350 aircraft. Designed to provide quick connect and disconnect capabilities they can be made to fit virtually any load or shape.

West Coast Industries Europe (WCIE )

Design and manufacture of cold working tooling and consumables – split sleeve and split mandrel.

Cold working is widely applied in fatigue design of mechanical and aeronautical components with holes in them, in order to induce a stress compression field in the most loaded zone and thus increase fatigue life. Bushings are inserted in the hole by a cold expansion process: a cold-expanded bushing-hole connection is commonly used in aerospace structures, obtaining the highest benefits on hole fatigue life.

Bushings for metallic and composite materials. StressWave fatigue enhancement uses the technique of imparting beneficial residual compressive stresses into the material before hole drilling, via two specified indenters. Easily automated, and eliminating the cost of disposable tooling, Mini Flex Track portable automated drilling technology is a system using single shot drill countersink, drill seal and fill for metallic and composite structures.
