A Black Country's tooling firm has secured new contracts worth more than £675,000 in the aerospace sector.
Cube Precision Engineering has been able to bring back all but two of its 42-strong workforce from furlough as a result of the wins, with a number of new opportunities across automotive and advanced engineering in the pipeline.
The Rowley Regis-based company provides prototyping, design, simulation, manufacturing and full inspection and serves clients in sectors such as aerospace, automotive, defence and rail.
Managing director Neil Clifton said: "2020 had got off to a great start and we were all set for a record year until covid-19 took hold and a lot of projects were stalled or put on hold indefinitely.
"Like all of manufacturing, we've had to pivot our operations but importantly we have managed to continue working throughout the pandemic, including making parts that went into a machine that was being used to make face masks.
"We have also been looking at how we convert new opportunities during the crisis and this has resulted in us securing additional aerospace work with two strategically vital customers.
"This is more than double the revenue we were expecting."
