IDEX: Marshall Aerospace expands to Middle East

Walton will be based in Abu Dhani and lead the expansion of the business in the UAE and surrounding region.

“I am excited to get back to working with our partners in the UAE, developing those key relationships in the surrounding region, and living here full-time,” said Walton.

“The scale of the vision in the UAE and neighbouring countries in the region is phenomenal, and we are now at a point where we would like to bring a dedicated focus to our work in the region, and work with local partners to harness Marshall’s reputation for excellence in engineering, and develop relationships with key partners across the aerospace and defence sector to deliver cutting edge solutions for our partners here. I believe we have plenty to offer across multiple defence sectors in the air and land domain, including aircraft capability upgrades, advanced technologies to support autonomous drone operations, and land systems infrastructure for rapid deployability.

“I am particularly delighted that our group CEO Kathy Jenkins has been able to join us at IDEX to mark this very significant stage in the growth of Marshall in the Middle East.”
