posted 24th June 2026
UK manufacturing specialist for the Aerospace and Defence industry, Corvero Group, has acquired BIE Magnum, a specialist provider of precision engineering, surface treatment and finishing solutions. The deal was advised by GS Verde - An AAB Group Company.
Established more than 50 years ago, Bristol based BIE Magnum has developed a strong reputation as a leader in specialist manufacturing services and delivers high-quality surface treatments, engraving, paint finishes, screen printing and CNC machining. It also offers a range of in-house processes for customers across numerous and highly demanding industries and caters to their specific requirements.
By joining London based Covero Group, BIE Magnum will have the opportunity to become part of Corvero’s continued growth plan across the UK Aerospace & Defence industries as well as increasing its customer base in the global aerospace defence and industrial sectors.
The acquisition complements both companies growth plans, giving BIE Magnum the platform to enhance its services to new and existing customers across civil and military programmes. It also enables Corvero to expand its geographical footprint across the UK’s manufacturing industry and services, along with strengthening its commitment for quality, reliability, and continuous investment in capability within the aerospace and defence sectors.
Tom Senior, Corporate Development Director at Corvero, said: “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, Managing Director at BIE Magnum, said of the acquisition: “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.”
