A ROCKET factory is celebrating its 20th year in business as a leading firm in propulsion systems for rockets and missiles.

Roxel UK was founded when Royal Ordnance Rocket Motors (Division of BAE) merged with Celerg in France 2003, with the business firmly based at their Worcestershire site since World War II.

Roxel is marking two decades with celebratory events as they enter a new wave of growth at their site in Summerfield.

Adrian Banks, Managing Director for Roxel UK said: “It’s an important year for Roxel UK as we not only celebrate our 20th anniversary but also enter a growth phase at our Summerfield site in Kidderminster.

"This is an exciting time to be part of Roxel UK and we are proud to be a strong and successful Midlands-based manufacturer. We look forward to building on our achievements over the last 20 years, as we drive the business forward.”

“I would like to take this opportunity to thank all our staff, suppliers and customers for their continued support. Like any organisation, our people are at the heart of the business and particularly in our industry which is highly technical, our successes are due to the hard work and dedication of our teams”.

Roxel UK, which is part of the Roxel Group based in France, is a leading European company specialising in solid propulsion systems for aerospace and defence applications. 

As part of their continued expansion, Roxel UK is recruiting for many roles at the Summerfield site.
