This is GKN Aerospace Engine Systems
We are rapidly approaching the end of our second year since
we expanded GKN Aerospace Engine Systems to include the
majority of GKN Engine related businesses.
Our key objectives were to:
• More effectively integrate and leverage synergies across
our businesses, functional disciplines and production
facilities
• Establish a more common organizational structure to operate more efficiently within our business and to provide a
more clear, focused interface for our customers
• Leverage our combined capabilities across the product
lifecycle from design to aftermarket to organically grow
our business
• Establish a clear product strategy that is supported by our
technology strategy and industrial capabilities
• Provide opportunities for all of our businesses to access
the diverse capabilities of the over 4000 skilled people
in Engine Systems and for our people to pursue career
opportunities across our business portfolio.
We have made much progress in each of these areas and have
many tangible positive results to look back on. There has
been a great deal of hard work and many impressive contributions from across the entire organization. 2

As we look to the future, there is
still much opportunity available to
us to take our business to an even
higher level of performance on our
journey to be:
“The customer’s choice where
extraordinary people deliver world
class engine technology and
products.”
I hope that you find the enclosed,
updated Engine System booklet to
be of interest and value.
Thank you for your continued
support and for being part of the

Why does GKN work with Public Affairs?
We participate in the political process to educate
decision makers and help shape policies that support our business growth. An important objective is to
secure and increase public funding and catch opportunities to get additional funding; transport research
funding, energy efficiency funding, material research
funding, etc.
Political communications is a key task of public
affairs. In Stockholm, GKN is well-placed to turn our
corporate strategy into public support touching on
transport, defence and the environment, or cross-cutting industrial themes such as skills, manufacturing
and innovation.

can work in the office for a few days a
week, which is good both for the
employee as well as the environment.
