The firm, which is a Unitech Aerospace company, received the award for their innovative and collaborative approach on a multi-million pound supply chain partnership.
Craig Smith, executive vice president installations of Rolls-Royce, said: “We are impressed by the overall commitment, approach and attitude adopted by Paul Fabrications to help us deliver our strategic goals.”
Paul Fabrications and Rolls-Royce announced a partnership in late 2016 that is a key part of the ongoing transformation of Rolls-Royce’s supply chain for metallic fabrications.
A defining feature of this partnership was Paul Fabrications’ ability and commitment to provide a turnkey new product introduction (NPI) process. By embedding a Rolls-Royce team inside of Paul Fabrication’s Derby site, there is a new level of collaboration and transparency between the two organizations.
Wayne Exton, chief executive of Unitech Aerospace, said: “I am delighted with this award as it speaks to our partnership in collectively developing a strategic path to manage low volume and legacy parts in an efficient and timely manner.
“A key success factor is our co-located team of decision makers enabling faster transfer and more efficient production methods. We look forward to growing this partnership over many years to come.”
