The contract involves the replacement of the electrical controls and hydraulic system of a 1250 ton powder press, which dates from 1966.
The press is used to manufacture sintered brake pads for aircraft and is probably the only one of its kind in Europe, the company said.
Rhodes also recently secured an order to carry out a refit of a 1989 3000 ton superplastic (SPF) press for BAE Systems.
“This is a specialist upgrade and renovation of a vitally important piece of equipment,” said Rhodes Interform technical director Peter Anderton. “We won the contract based on our expertise in the manufacture, design and upgrade of presses in the aerospace sector.”
