(Sharecast News) - Bodycote said on Friday that it has bought Spectrum Thermal Processing, an aerospace and defence focused heat treatment provider based in Cranston, Rhode Island, for about $8m in cash.

It said Spectrum brings well established Nadcap-accredited capabilities in the Northeast US, spanning a range of high-quality precision heat treatment processes.

Bodycoty said the deal increases its exposure to the growing aerospace & defence market in North America.

"In conjunction with the ongoing Optimise programme and the disposal of ten automotive and industrial focused sites in France (completed in November 2025), this acquisition demonstrates our ongoing focus on improving the quality of the group's portfolio and increasing exposure to structurally higher growth markets," it said.
