Doncasters has sold two businesses with operations in Blaenavon, Sheffield and Shrewsbury
Blaenavon Forgings has been sold to US private equity firm Arlington Capital Partners and its UK Fabrications business to Radius Aerospace, which is backed by the same firm.
Blaenavon Forgings, headquartered in Blaenavon, Wales, manufactures high-precision forgings for the aerospace and defence sector.
Arlington Capital Partners has made a direct investment in the company, complementing its recent formation of Forged Solutions Group.
The UK Fabrications business is based at Doncasters' Bramah site in Sheffield and the Sentinel Works site in Shrewsbury, employing 400 skilled workers. It designs and manufactures exhaust and nacelle components as well as airfoils for aircraft engines, serving large blue-chip engine manufacturers such as Safran, Rolls Royce, GE, Pratt & Whitney.
It has been acquired by Radius, a carve-out from Triumph Aerospace which was backed by Arlington Capital Partners in March 2019.
