Two Decades of Excellence in Aviation: Meon's July 2025 News Bulletin
Building a trusted brand in the aviation sector requires time, expertise, and unwavering commitment to quality. Twenty years ago, the Meon team began working with line marking contractors in the aviation industry, establishing partnerships that would prove transformative for all involved.
Through close collaboration, we quickly identified that our one-pack epoxy paint met the rigorous performance requirements of both the CAA and FAA. Combined with our comprehensive support package, this led contractors at the UK's largest airports to select Meon as their preferred supply partner.
Over time, it became clear that Meon's role extended far beyond traditional paint supply. We evolved into a supply chain partner committed to challenging the status quo by understanding client needs and delivering bespoke solutions for their dynamic requirements.
Case Study: Prestwick Airport Emergency Repair
A recent project at Prestwick Airport - Scotland's only rail-connected airport, located southwest of Glasgow - perfectly demonstrates our responsive approach to client challenges.
The Challenge:
- Crumbling runway chamber requiring urgent repair
- Limited 12-hour weekend maintenance window
- Need for 10 tonnes of high-strength concrete
- Requirement for high-performance surface materials
The Meon Solution:
Our development team had the perfect formulation ready from our portfolio of innovations. The solution offered:
- Exceptional strength gain
- Minimal shrinkage
- Impressive 60-second mix time
Following successful laboratory testing and approval, the project went live on 29th June 2025 and proved hugely successful. This innovative formulation has since been dubbed 'magic concrete' by the team.
Expanding Safety Solutions
Innovation continues beyond materials. Our offering now includes a comprehensive range of passive and active safety enhancement systems designed to protect personnel in busy operational environments.
This successful approach in aviation has naturally expanded into other mass transit industries, including rail and maritime sectors.
