Craig Gallagher, Chief Executive of MB Aerospace Holdings , said: "We have enjoyed a long standing relationship with Rolls-Royce and I'm delighted to have secured these contract extensions which are a great addition to our future order book".
"These contracts, along with the five-year aftermarket contract we won in 2005 put us in an extremely healthy position and we can now look forward to continuing the development of our aero-engine supply chain".
"Not only can we now increase our investment in capital equipment and supply chain development but we will be seeking to strengthen our workforce at our sites in Burnley and Motherwell".
