The aerospace and engineering group said the acquired businesses will be integrated into its polymers and composites division.
Chief executive Stephen Young said: “This acquisition, in tandem with the recently completed acquisition of the composites businesses of Cobham, substantially enhances our composites capability. We are now very well positioned to meet a growing demand for high performance, lightweight materials that will be a pervasive feature of next generation aircraft.
“The group extends a warm welcome to our new employees and looks forward to our continuing success together."
