Torfaen MP visits STG
Torfaen MP, Nick Thomas-Symonds, visited our Cwmbran facility to learn more about the innovative lighting solutions we provide, as we are finalists in the Torfaen & Monmouthshire 2024 Business Awards for Manufacturing Business of the Year and Innovation & Technology Business of the Year categories. Winners will be announced on 19th September.
It was Thomas-Symonds' second visit, having first visited STG in November 2022. The team was able to update him on STG’s latest developments, including the world’s first sustainable emergency floor path marking product, saf-Tglo® eco E1™, launched earlier this year in response to the aerospace industry’s goal to reach net-zero by 2050.
Speaking of the visit, Nick Thomas-Symonds said: “STG Aerospace is a leading employer in our area, contributing to the success and prominence of the Welsh aerospace market at a global level. It was great to meet the team again and see their expertise in action and to learn about the latest innovations. I am delighted that we have STG on our doorstep, and I look forward to seeing what future innovations are in store.”
Dr Sean O’Kell, Business Unit Director of STG, added: “It was a privilege to welcome Nick back to STG and update him on our latest work. We have done a lot of research into sustainable material options. During that difficult process of incorporating recycled materials into our designs, we have made innovative steps that have led to two patents. We are excited and proud to offer our customers an eco-friendly alternative floor path marking and play our part in supporting a more sustainable future. We are grateful for our MP’s support and look forward to updating him on our journey as a proud member of the aerospace sector in Wales.”
