The announcement was unveiled at the Farnborough International Airshow as part of our presence on the Greater Wichita Partnership stand.

 

About Envisage Manufacturing Inc.

Led by an executive team with more than 70 years of combined aerospace experience, our Wichita operation builds on a 30+ year history of supporting major US aerospace OEMs, giving EMI the expertise to meet the industry’s rigorous regulatory and quality standards. Our manufacturing facility is equipped with 3-, 4- and 5-axis CNC machining centers, 2-axis turning, and extrusion milling for aluminum profiles including L, T, U, H, and Z sections. We also operate a dedicated shim center, manufacturing precision shims, fillers, and wear pads used in structural assemblies where tight tolerances and accurate alignment are critical. Supported by lights-out automation and Lean manufacturing principles, our processes are designed to deliver repeatable quality, production efficiency, and scalable manufacturing. This expansion enhances our precision-based manufacturing capabilities across industries and across borders, supporting aerospace, defense, space, and other advanced industries.

 

New Frontiers

Enhancing both capacity and capability by combining the expertise of US and UK teams, we are well positioned to take advantage of new opportunities the American Market has to offer. Maintaining our commitment to excellence, we can offer more integrated solutions, reduce lead times, and respond to the increasingly complex needs of new and existing global clients.

 

The Air Capital of the World

Wichita, Kansas has a long history in aviation and aerospace, giving it its reputation as being the Air Capital of the World. It is a hub for the aerospace sector with many manufacturers and suppliers having bases in the state, making us best placed for opportunities within the industry. Leveraging local expertise, EMI has direct access to the states established highly skilled workforce in engineering and manufacturing, with local colleges and technical programs also feeding the area with new talent. Geographically, Kansas is a central state, ideal for supply chain, logistics, and serving both coasts efficiently.

 

Certified for Aerospace

Following Envisage Technologies’ recent achievement of AS9100 certification, the acquisition of EMI further strengthens the Group’s aerospace capabilities. With EMI’s AS9100-certified quality management system and ITAR registration, the Group is well positioned to support customers with increasingly complex, highly regulated, and global manufacturing requirements. Together, these milestones reinforce our commitment to operational excellence, regulatory compliance, and continuous improvement as we enter the next phase of growth.

As we continue to grow and expand our presence, our focus remains firmly on delivering the same exceptional value for our clients while staying true to the principles that have contributed to our success: quality, reliability, and a commitment to deliver. The breadth of experience, capability, and expertise across Envisage, on both sides of the Atlantic, is a core strength, and I am excited about the possibilities of what the future holds.
