[3] Airscrew became a limited company in 1931, and by 1938 had formed Jicwood Ltd as a joint venture between Itself and Halila, Ltd., of Bush House, London.
Mr. Swann, who was a director of Halila, Ltd., joined the board of The Airscrew Co.(Flight of 9 December 1937) The organisation employed around 200 staff at a site in Hamm Moor Lane,[4] Addlestone.
By the beginning of World War II, the company was also making wooden-bladed ventilation fans and wind tunnels.
The properties of this material were those required in aircraft flooring, bomb doors, superstructures and bulkheads for motor torpedo boats.
Wartime production requirements raised staff numbers to nearly 2,000 by 1945, and the company had its own Home Guard platoon, fire brigade and St John's Ambulance sections.
In 1986, the Weybridge site was sold, demolished and redeveloped and Airscrew moved to 111 Windmill Road, Sunbury on Thames.
The Airscrew Company[10] became a principal subsidiary of the Airtechnology Group of the UK and has since been absorbed into Ametek Inc's Aerospace & Defence division based at the Windmill Road site producing AC and DC brushless, mixed flow, tubeaxial and vaneaxial fans, high-pressure blowers, AC and DC brushless motors and drivecsystems, build-to-print and custom subassemblies, electronic and fault sensing devices, electric heaters, switches and sensors.
