This acquisition represents a significant step in Performance’s strategy to expand its presence in the UK market while enhancing its capabilities to better serve customers across Europe.
Auvation, with over 30 years of excellence in providing solutions to key sectors such as Energy, Healthcare, and Aerospace, brings to Performance its trusted reputation and a highly skilled team of engineers and scientists. This partnership enables Performance to combine Auvation’s engineering expertise with its global resources, enhancing both organizations’ ability to tackle complex challenges across industries.
Performance’s Strategic Move to Better Serve the UK and European Markets
The acquisition of Auvation aligns with Performance’s vision of becoming a global leader in developing safety-critical solutions by strengthening its position in the UK and European markets. By leveraging Auvation’s expertise, Performance now offers an even more diverse and robust portfolio of solutions backed by local knowledge and international capabilities.
Raj Ghate, CEO of Performance, shared:
“Acquiring Auvation is a key milestone for Performance as we continue to expand our footprint in the UK and across Europe. This acquisition enables us to leverage Auvation’s engineering excellence and deep industry expertise while also providing our clients with the backing of Performance’s global infrastructure. Together, we are better positioned to meet the evolving needs of our customers and deliver cutting-edge solutions to some of the most complex challenges in industries ranging from aviation to defense.”

Auvation: 30 Years of Engineering Excellence
For decades, Auvation has been a leader in delivering advanced software solutions and professional services, building a stellar reputation.
Ian Vinnicombe, Director of Auvation, shared his perspective on what this acquisition means for the company and its customers:
What excites you most about Auvation becoming part of Performance?
“The most exciting aspect is the new credibility that linking up with Performance will bring to what we can offer potential customers. While customers have always appreciated the attentiveness and flexibility our small team provides, our modest size has made it challenging to compete with larger competitors. Performance’s pedigree in delivering significant aerospace programs brings a new substance to our proposition.”
How will this acquisition benefit Auvation’s existing clients and team members?
“For both our clients and our team, there are obvious benefits in tapping into the extensive experience Performance brings in the aerospace sector. For our team, this partnership presents opportunities to work on exciting new projects and fosters personal growth as the company expands.”
What are you personally looking forward to as Auvation embarks on this new chapter with Performance?
“Personally, I see this as an opportunity to focus more on my core interest—developing great software for customers. Over the years, I’ve had to balance engineering with sales and administrative tasks. The support Performance provides will allow me to dedicate more time to leading our engineering team in meeting customer needs.”
A Bright Future: Expanding Capabilities Across Europe
More than a business decision, this partnership represents a dedication to advancing industry capabilities and ensuring customer success. With Performance’s global infrastructure and Auvation’s local expertise, clients can expect tailored solutions to meet the evolving demands of complex industries. For both Performance’s and Auvation’s team, this collaboration opens doors to exciting projects, professional growth, and new opportunities to make an impact.
