Company History
|
Managing Director Stephen Foster has a history in motorsport going back many years, starting with the Onyx F2 programme and developing with the
Onyx F3000 and F1 projects. Raceprep was established in December 1990 to offer the high standards of manufacturing workmanship required by the motor sport industry
without the long time delays often associated with specialist engineering and fabrication processes.
Due to the increasing use of moulded composite components in race car engineering and the benefits of having this facility in house, 1992 saw the acquisition of Mako Fibreglass, a locally based specialist company with a history of design and product development going back some fifteen years.
These two companies combined to become Raceprep Limited and subsequently RP Technologies and then RP Aero Systems reflecting its ongoing market and product
diversification. It operates from a 20,000 square foot, purpose built, facility in Littlehampton, West Sussex, England.
It now has two distinct, but complimentary, business operations which design, develop and manufacture: |
- composite components, fabrications and assemblies
- aircraft cabin crew safety and service training systems
|
The company's fine tolerance fabrication and moulded composite skills have been recognised with the award of significant contracts for components and assemblies to major companies involved in motorsport, architectural construction and the manufacture of road vehicles, helicopters, flight simulators, military
equipment and audio systems.
One of these major contracts was for the supply of replica aircraft structures and systems to ECC Simulation Ltd for a series of cabin crew training simulators for
Airtours (MyTravel). In July 1999 RP procured this business from ECC and launched into the simulation market. Since then RP has earned a reputation as a reliable Manufacturer
of quality training equipment to the Aerospace industry world wide, and is a leading supplier of training equipment for Wide body, Narrow body and Regional airlines in both the domestic and international markets. |
