Swift Aerospace has been acquired by Clarendon Specialty Fasteners, a division of Diploma PLC – a FTSE 100 global specialised distribution group. This marks a significant milestone in Swift’s corporate evolution and signals a new chapter backed by major PLC governance and investment.
Strategic Expansion
The acquisition strengthens Clarendon’s portfolio in Aerospace Interiors, Space, and Defence, while Swift’s expertise in Airframe applications provides a complementary fit. Together, the combined entity expands its international footprint across the UK, Europe, Asia, and the USA, offering a more comprehensive solution to global customers.
Business Continuity Assurance
Clients are reassured that it’s business as usual:
- No changes to day-to-day operations
- Existing trading relationships and service levels remain intact
- Current Swift Aerospace contacts stay in place
This stability is crucial for maintaining trust and continuity during the transition.
Future Outlook
With the backing of Diploma PLC, Swift is now positioned to support significant investments aimed at enhancing service and unlocking synergies across the broader platform. The tone is forward-looking, confident, and growth-oriented — ideal for public-facing messaging.
