Field International Group

Field International Group is a privately owned, independent group of global engineering companies. It was incorporated in 1995. The group serves customers in the aerospace, transport, energy and medical industries.

The company makes and supplies aircraft tooling and ground support equipment (GSE). Its FIL tooling products are used for aircraft maintenance. Examples include a removal and installation trolley for Airbus A330 and A340 main and centre landing gear, and a test box for a cargo fire extinguishing system. It also holds Boeing aircraft tooling licences in several countries.

Field International offers a full end to end service for engineering projects. That covers design, development, manufacture and installation. Its design team works on aircraft ground support equipment, maintenance tooling, main assembly jigs, wing repair tooling, and jigs and fixtures for rail, marine, energy and general production lines.

The group provides maintenance, servicing, calibration, repair, overhaul, upgrade and proof loading for its FIL products, Boeing tooling and general GSE. Its sites offer CNC milling, turning and grinding, and fabrication, welding and paint shop services. The company says it offers low cost manufacture through its global facilities and subcontractors.

The company has grown in steps since it started in Poole, Dorset. Its UK business became a tier 1 supplier to BAE Systems in 2003, and it was commissioned by Airbus Defence and Space to design and make A400M maintenance tooling in 2008. Offices and sites were added in Singapore, China, Spain, India and the United States, including a manufacturing site in Pensacola, Florida, opened in 2026.

Customers named on the website include Qantas, Emirates, Lufthansa, Rolls-Royce, BAE Systems and Singapore Airlines. Its sales teams cover the UK and Western Europe, the Middle East, Turkey, Central and Eastern Europe, Central and South America, Spain and Portugal, North America and Asia Pacific. The UK business holds AS9100 and ISO 9001:2015 approvals.
