Boeing and the AMRC renew partnership

5 February 2021 • In News
Boeing and the AMRC renew partnership

Boeing has renewed its longstanding relationship with the University of Sheffield Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC) with an agreement that will continue two decades of innovation and collaboration for another five years.

The renewed Tier 1 partnership extends Boeing’s access to the research and development capabilities of the AMRC, which it jointly founded with the University of Sheffield in 2001, and the industrial and manufacturing expertise and innovation that has existed in the Sheffield City Region for centuries.

“Renewing Boeing’s partnership with the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre demonstrates our commitment to Sheffield and showcases what we have jointly created in 20 years: jobs, innovation, inspiration and inward investment. At its core the agreement looks to the future and what more we can achieve through world-class researchers and industry working together,” said Sir Martin Donnelly, president of Boeing Europe and managing director Boeing in the UK and Ireland.

The AMRC, which celebrates its 20th anniversary this year, is a world-leading research and innovation network with more than 120 industrial partners, including Rolls-Royce, McLaren Automotive, Siemens and BAE Systems. As a member of the High Value Manufacturing Catapult, the AMRC collaborates with R&D experts to develop and de-risk industry-transforming solutions for companies across the globe, leading manufacturing towards a smart, sustainable and resilient future.

Boeing’s longstanding and successful relationship with the AMRC and its world-class research and development activities was a major factor in its decision to build Boeing Sheffield, the company’s first factory in Europe. The £40 million factory opened in 2018 close to the AMRC campus. The AMRC supported cutting-edge process development for efficient machining, factory planning and the digital infrastructure for the facility.

Steve Foxley, the AMRC’s chief executive officer, said the renewed partnership looks to the future and builds on more than 20 years of the AMRC and Boeing delivering technology solutions through collaborative research and innovation.

“Boeing has been with us from the beginning, when the AMRC first started out on this incredible journey to make things better for manufacturing,” Foxley said. “As we launch into the next ten-year chapter of the AMRC story, Boeing renewing this partnership is an incredible investment in the value of the AMRC’s research and development capabilities and sends out a strong signal of confidence in the region’s advanced manufacturing excellence, innovation and expertise.”
