The group manufactures components, assemblies and systems for a wide range of applications, has research, development and design resources and includes global energy, transport and defence groups among its clients.
The group has just won a major £30 million contract with General Dynamics to supply parts for the British Army’s future fleet of fighting vehicles.
The decision to join the AMRC follows the University of Sheffield’s acquisition of Castings Technology International, which led last year to the creation of AMRC Castings.
William Cook chairman Andrew Cook commented: “I was surprised and encouraged to see the level of practical help the AMRC can give companies that are keen to explore the possibilities of working with new materials, in new sectors and with new technologies. I’m looking forward greatly to William Cook playing a part in the AMRC’s world class centre. We are keen to utilise AMRC Castings’ research facilities and also the AMRC Training Centre.”
