Feritech Global is delighted to be featured in a new website that has been launched to showcase the leading companies within the fast-growing space sector. The space sector in Cornwall has grown 164% since 2010 and is expected to deliver £1 billion of additional economic value by 2030.
Rob Ferris, MD of Feritech Global, says: “Having built our reputation in subsea geotechnical surveying, we have outstanding credentials in providing advanced engineering which is reliable in harsh environments. Space is an exciting sector which is being given extra impetus by Spaceport Cornwall. We are proud to be able to bring our innovation skills and expertise to help meet the challenges of this ambitious industry.
“Our new Innovation Centre near Falmouth is the only manufacturing facility in the South West to offer such a comprehensive range of services on one site – product design, fabrication, electrical, electronics, embedded software, hydraulics and 3D printing. We are ideally placed to design and manufacture complex components for the space industry and we can take on the most demanding and challenging briefs.
“Our transition into space is a natural one, with the sub-ocean industry being similar to space in terms of environmental pressures, and the tools and technology required. Many of the skills we’ve developed in our work can be easily transferred to space.
“We are looking forward to being a pioneer of the space industry as it takes off in the UK.”
