CCP Gransden
SC21 Gold approved advanced composites manufacturer for aerospace and defence
About CCP Gransden
CCP Gransden is a UK family business and advanced composites manufacturer with more than 130 years of engineering heritage, describing itself as the UK's only SC21 Gold approved composites manufacturer for the aerospace, defence, security and space supply chain. The company traces its roots to 1894, when Belfast engineer Augustus Warren Hamilton set up a general engineering business at Princes Dock Street in the city's Sailortown district during Belfast's shipbuilding heyday; the firm carried out Admiralty repairs in the First World War, survived the Great Depression and the Belfast Blitz of 1941, and has evolved into a specialist in composite solutions for aerospace, marine, automotive, energy, defence and space clients.
Capabilities
- One of the UK's widest ranges of in-house composite manufacturing processes, supporting projects from concept to commercialisation, from prototypes to high-volume production delivered on time
- Engineering services including material and process selection, design in CATIA and 3DExperience, and simulation with Abaqus, for example in filament-wound pressure vessel work where filament winding data is transferred into finite element analysis to optimise weight, strength and lifetime
- Early involvement aimed at improving component efficiency and reducing weight, part count, cycle time and cost
- Client confidentiality under formal non-disclosure agreements, with sector brochures and case studies available on request
Accreditations and clients
CCP Gransden holds AS9100 and ADS SC21 Gold accreditation, embedding quality and traceability in everything it makes, and maintains long-standing links with innovation bodies, research hubs and industry clusters.
