The company provides its NDT solutions to a wide range of general and commercial aviation customers across the region.

We aim to have a seamless integration of the two businesses as one Heston MRO NDT Unit by continuing to provide NDT services to existing General Aviation customers and expanding our range into wider Commercial Aviation marketplace. We see solid growth potential to provide services to the larger national and international airlines and defense customers in the region".
