Manufacturing Capability You Can Trust
Our cross‑market manufacturing capability is delivered by a world‑class team of highly skilled machinists, manufacturing engineers, and CNC programmers, supported by a growing portfolio of advanced multi‑axis CNC machines. These machines enable complex operations such as turning, milling, and gear cutting to be completed in single set‑ups, retaining original datum points to improve accuracy, repeatability, and efficiency.
They are supported by our in-house Quality Assurance, Supplier Quality, Sub-Contract Management and Inspection departments, and operate a rigorously controlled set of processes certified to AS9100D and ISO 9001 – and often exceeding these requirements to ensure repeatable quality and reliability.
Fully Traceable Supply Chain
Ricardo operates a fully traceable supply chain aligned to aerospace compliance requirements.
Raw materials are sourced exclusively from customer‑approved suppliers and controlled within a bonded Stores area. Every component carries a laser‑etched batch and unit identification, linking it directly to material certification, manufacturing records, and inspection documentation.
Long‑standing specialist sub‑contract partners are used where required, with Ricardo retaining full end‑to‑end responsibility for quality, traceability, and delivery.
