As an international supplier of precision bearings and aerospace tooling equipment, Carter Manufacturing Ltd. continue to exploit opportunities to promote its state-of-the-art bearings, beyond the United Kingdom. Along with a highly interactive aerospace bearing tool training, the recent trip to Puglia, Italy, resulted in many favourable meetings. The focus on Italy is on worthwhile grounds, as businesses from certain regions can significantly take advantage of Carter’s expertise, including various aerospace and ‘high-end’ engineering firms.
Carter operate in a cohesive collaboration with OTAR, their Italian agent and distributor. This portrays an immaculate partnership in fostering both aerospace and commercial industrial bearings and aerospace bearing tool products. OTAR’s visionary approach to facilitating their clients is well-supported by their ISO:9001 accreditations and AS9120 certification.
Apulia, also known by its Italian name Puglia, is located in the southeast of Italy and has the most elongated coastline of any Italian mainland region. Apart from the most incredible views, the region is well-known for olive oil production. It’s also known as the ‘bread basket’ of Italy because of its large production of pasta and bread. The region encloses the provinces of Bari, Brindisi, Lecce, Barletta-Andria-Trani, Foggia, and Taranto. It stretches from the Fortore River in the northwest to Cape Santa Maria di Leuca at the edge of the Salentine Peninsula – often described as the “heel” of the Italian “boot”.
The growing 'space clusters' focusing on the aerospace and aviation industries are not well-identified by a broader audience. They are located in Apulia, Lazio, Piedmont, and Campania, where leading manufacturers are situated along with key research institutes. Satellites, such as microsatellites, EO, NAV, and TLC, remotely piloted aircraft systems, micro propulsion systems, evolved space robotics, range-extended hybrids, and aerospace interiors are some of their prominent projects and sectors.
