Hills Helicopters, a leader in bespoke helicopter design and manufacturing, partnered with Todd Engineering to equip their new purpose-built facility for production of the HX50 helicopter. The project required a highly specialised combination of spray booth technology and bespoke composite manufacturing environments — delivered to aerospace specification.
Installed Equipment
Poseidon Spray Booth — Raised floor for optimised airflow and superior refinishing precision. Full downdraught extraction ensuring a pristine, dust-free environment. Eco+ energy-saving modes.
Paint Mixing Room — Dedicated space for precise colour matching and preparation, seamlessly integrated with the spray booth workflow.
Temperature-Controlled Composite Rooms — Purpose-built spaces maintaining strict environmental conditions to preserve the integrity of composite materials critical to HX50 production.
Relocated Oven — An existing Todd Engineering oven was relocated to the new facility, ensuring workflow continuity and operational efficiency.
"The installations from Todd Engineering have been instrumental in bringing our new facility to life. The Poseidon spray booth and composite rooms are essential to our operations. Todd Engineering's expertise and attention to detail have exceeded our expectations."
— Mark, Production Director — Hills Helicopters
