Pentaxia

Derby-based Pentaxia was formed in 2008 and specializes in the manufacture of advanced composites for the aviation, motorsport, luxury automotive and general engineering markets. It is highly vertically integrated, carrying out nearly all operations from design through to the production of painted final products, in house. This gives the company a rare capability to manage complex projects on tight timescales to demanding quality standards. With quality standards ISO 9000 and AS9100, Pentaxia can operate in all market sectors and all parts of the world. Its blue-chip customers range from major aerospace companies, to front of the grid F1 teams and world-famous luxury car manufacturers. Pentaxia invests in staff training to meet growth needs and employs several graduates and apprentices, winning the SEMTA National Skills Champion Award in 2014 for its work with the long-term unemployed.
