Avingtrans Plc (AVG.L), a maker of critical components and others for the industrial sectors, said on Thursday that its subsidiary, Booth Industries, has secured a new 4.5 million pounds contract to supply pressure-rated fire doors for High Speed 2, or HS2.
Booth will begin mass production of the cross-passage sliding door sets in 2025.
Following the initial HS2 contract, Booth developed tested doors capable of withstanding high-pressure shockwaves across over 5 million cycles, delivering a design life exceeding 30 years.
The new contract expands upon Booth's involvement in the HS2 project, following the 36 million pounds contract secured in 2020 to supply cross passage doors for the London-to-West Midlands segment of the route.
HS2 is a high-speed railway that has been under construction in England.
