Ferra Group

Last week, Ferra Group was honoured to welcome COL Nigel Motley and LTCOL Phillip James from the Capability Acquisition and Sustainment Group (CASG) AH-64E Apache Attack Helicopter Project team to our Brisbane site. As a key sovereign industry contributor to this critical Defence program, we’re proud to be manufacturing and assembling the Vertical Spar Box (VSB) for the Australian fleet of Apache helicopters. The visit from COL Motley and LTCOL James reinforced the importance of the Apache aircraft to Australia’s sovereignty and defence readiness and the key contributions Australian industry are making to the program. In preparation, Ferra has been investing in capability upgrades to ensure our team and facility are ready to meet the production needs of our customer. We look forward to Defence’s next visit as we move forward towards delivery of our first manufactured assemblies. #Ferra #DefenceIndustry #ApacheHelicopter #Aerospace #Innovation #DefenceAustralia #Manufacturing

Ferra Group Corporate Leadership were in Washington DC this week where they had the privilege of supporting the prestigious Navy League of the United States Sea-Air-Space Exposition in National Harbour, Maryland. Our CEO Aaron Thompson and Vice President Business Development Blair Drinkwater were proud to represent Ferra as part of the #TeamDefenceAustralia delegation, supported by Australian Trade and Investment Commission (Austrade).   We were grateful to contribute to raising the profile of the Australian Defence industry on the global stage and be able to engage with new and existing customers, stakeholders, and industry partners. The discussions were insightful, and the connections made were invaluable as we explored opportunities to collaborate and drive progress in the defence industrial base.   In addition to our participation in the Sea-Air-Space Expo, we also had the opportunity to conduct engaging discussions with US Senate and Congress elected officials and strategic stakeholders to showcase Ferra's progressive manufacturing solutions and capabilities in the states of #Oklahoma and #Arkansas.   Ferra extends our sincere thanks to everyone who welcomed us and participated in these meaningful conversations.
