NP Aerospace, the Coventry-based global vehicle integrator and armour manufacturer, is to ramp up its UK-based armoured vehicle assembly and integration capabilities.

NP Aerospace is currently assembling and integrating more than 150 specialist armoured vehicle systems, with more expected throughout 2025. The vehicle systems in assembly, range from complete Civilian Armoured Vehicles (CAVs) and fully integrated tactical vehicles to armoured cab sub-systems. This announcement coincides with The International Armoured Vehicles conference taking place in Farnborough, UK, 21-23 January 2025. 

Since the announcement of the acquisition of the assets of Jankel Armouring Limited last June, NP Aerospace has novated several former Jankel Armouring Limited contracts.

In September NP Aerospace announced it had received seven individual vehicle-related contracts from the MoD. Since then, a further three vehicle related contracts have been placed, one from Belgium for the remainder of their LTTV fleet and a further two from undisclosed customers for specialist integrated armoured vehicles.

In total, NP Aerospace is currently delivering on nine different vehicle assembly and integration related contracts from four different global customers - both ministries of defence and industry vehicle OEM partners. This new work sits alongside NP Aerospace’s established vehicle survivability, support, post design services and spares activity.

Since acquiring the assets of Jankel Armouring, NP Aerospace has recruited more than 50 staff.

James Kempston, NP Aerospace CEO, said: “We’re very pleased indeed to announce the ramp up of our UK-based armoured vehicle assembly and integration capabilities. Since the acquisition in June, we’ve taken the time to get things right and the talent we’ve secured has given us the critical foundations upon which to provide quality services to a global customer base.”
