The company was formed in 1974 and today employs around 100 people with a turnover of almost $14M.

Our success in our chosen specialist marketplaces is based on our engineering skills and experience, and our ability to work closely with our customers to develop highly engineered, customised solutions to meet their specific requirements. In addition, the quality and reliability of our products are key to the company's success. Many of our products are 100% tested at several stages during their production cycle to ensure their total quality and reliability when deployed in the field. In addition to our engineering and manufacturing skills and expertise, WASP also offers a full Qualification and Certification service for products used in the aviation industry.
