Vac Aero employs more than 100 employees at two locations in Kalisz and Rzeszow, Poland.

MB Aerospace chief executive officer Craig Gallagher said: "We are delighted to acquire the Polish operations of Vac-Aero, now trading as MB Aerospace Technologies (Poland), as its extensive range of capabilities and skilled employees will help us broaden our offering to existing customers and the expanding aerospace market in Poland and the surrounding industrial areas of Western and Eastern Europe.

"Its extensive range of capabilities and skilled employees will help us broaden our offering to existing customers and the expanding aerospace market in Poland."

"With thermal and plasma coating capabilities now available to us in the region, we can provide customers with fast, responsive lead times for aero-engine and industrial gas turbine component treatments, whilst mitigating the logistics, and cost, of shipping products long distances to have such critical work done."

Vac Aero provides protective and performance enhancing coatings for aero-engine and industrial gas turbine components.

The OEM licensed and proprietary coatings offer wear, corrosion and heat-resistance properties across performance critical compressor, combustor and turbine components.
