About: Stadco
Stadco Ltd, part of the privately-owned Acertec Group, is one of the fastest growing players in the global market for body-in-white technology. Its acquisition in mid 2004 of the former Mayflower Vehicle Systems business doubled its turnover to more than EUR300 million and provided it with some of the most advanced press shop facilities and sub assembly operations in the industry. The company operates from eight sites in the UK and two in Germany, including a major presence at Ford's Saarlouis facility in Germany where it manufactures BIW assemblies for the new Focus model. Other major clients include BMW, Land Rover, Jaguar, Aston Martin and MG Rover. Stadco Engineering brings together the global resources and skills of both Stadco and MVS and has a tremendous track record, most recently proven in the mould-breaking body of the advanced Ford GT project (with its roots in the legendary Ford GT 40) and the Mercedes-Benz Accelo in Brazil. Based in Coventry, UK, Stadco Engineering gives the company newfound strengths in body engineering, enabling it to win new business calling on a 'total solutions' approach rather than merely being a supplier of body-in-white production and assembly expertise. |
