Corvero, the specialist consolidator of UK precision manufacturing for the Aerospace & Defence (A&D) industry, today announced the acquisition of BIE Magnum, a specialist provider of a variety of finishing and surface treatments for high-performance engineered components. This complimentary acquisition marks Corvero’s continued commitment to building a world-class, unified UK manufacturing group capable of serving the most demanding customers in global aerospace, defence, and industrial markets.
Founded over 50 years ago, BIE Magnum has established itself as an innovative leader in surface treatments, paint finishes, engraving, CNC machining, and screen printing. The business offers an unrivalled range of in-house processes, tailoring solutions to precise customer requirements – from high-volume fascias for electronic instruments to one-off commemorative plaque. With a highly skilled workforce, deep process knowledge, and a commitment to quality and cost-effectiveness, BIE Magnum represents a compelling addition to the Corvero group.
The acquisition further extends Corvero’s growing footprint in the UK’s precision manufacturing sector and reinforces the group’s strategy of consolidating best-in-class businesses that share its commitment to quality, reliability, and continuous investment in capability. BIE Magnum’s expertise in high-precision treatments, finishes and CNC machining complements Corvero’s existing portfolio and creates enhanced capacity and reach for customers across civil and military programmes.
Tom Senior, Corporate Development Director at Corvero, commented: “The acquisition of BIE Magnum is another really exciting step forward for Corvero. They are a business with a fantastic team, deep technical expertise, and a well-earned reputation for delivering to the highest standards, one which is continuing to grow in the industry. This is exactly the kind of business we look to bring in at Corvero – one where we can provide the strategic backing and investment to support their continued growth and do more for their customers by providing access to the full capability available across our wider group. We look forward to welcoming Sarah and the BIE Magnum team into the group and building on the strong foundations already in place.”
Paul Uttley, Owner of BIE Magnum, said: “BIE Magnum has been built on decades of precision, dedication, and the trust of our customers. Joining Corvero is a proud moment for everyone who has contributed to making this business what it is today. This partnership gives us the backing to go further – to invest in our people and our capabilities – while staying true to the quality and personal service that has always set us apart. I’m excited about the next chapter for BIE Magnum and confident that, as part of the Corvero group, we will continue to grow and deliver for our customers for many years to come.”
Sarah Rodgerson at BIE Magnum added: “Joining Corvero is a hugely positive development for BIE Magnum and for our team. We have always prided ourselves on the quality of what we produce and the relationships we have built with our customers over the years. Becoming part of the Corvero group gives us the platform and resources to take that to the next level – investing in our people, our technology, and our capabilities – while continuing to deliver the precision and reliability our customers depend on. We are genuinely excited about what this partnership means for the future of BIE Magnum.”
With this latest acquisition, Corvero continues to build a strategically differentiated group of UK precision manufacturing services, providing customers with a single, trusted partner capable of delivering complex, high-value components at scale across the full breadth of the Aerospace & Defence supply chain.
