India-based Belrise Industries has announced the acquisition of UK-based Chester Hall Precision Engineering, marking a strategic move into the global aerospace and defence sector. The deal, valued at approximately £13.2 million, involves the purchase of 100% stake in the UK firm through Belrise’s subsidiary. Chester Hall generates annual revenues of around £18.5 million and specialises in manufacturing high-precision components for aerospace, space, and defence applications. This acquisition gives Belrise immediate access to advanced aerospace manufacturing capabilities, certifications, and global OEM relationships, enabling it to supply to leading international aircraft and defence companies. The transaction is valued at about 6x EV/EBITDA and is expected to be earnings accretive from the first year, with an additional deferred component linked to the company’s 2026 performance. Chester Hall brings strong expertise in machining aerostructures, aero-engine components, and satellite parts, working with advanced materials like titanium and high-grade aluminium—critical for mission-sensitive aerospace applications. For Belrise, traditionally an automotive component manufacturer, this marks a major diversification beyond its core business. The company plans to integrate Chester Hall’s precision engineering strengths with its existing manufacturing operations across India and France, building a more global engineering platform. The move reflects a broader trend of Indian manufacturing firms expanding into high-value, technology-intensive sectors in Europe, while leveraging European expertise to move up the global value chain. It also strengthens cross-border industrial collaboration, particularly in advanced engineering and aerospace innovation.
