// Who We Are

Introducing
Star Industry

Star Industry is built to solve a fundamental problem facing the new space sector: the supply chain cannot keep up. Not enough suppliers can produce space-grade components at scale, and critical engineering expertise — particularly in flight safety and mission analysis — remains dangerously scarce across Europe.

We are a vertically integrated company, combining specialised engineering consultancy, advanced composite hardware, and a long-term vision for in-space transportation. Our team are former senior leaders from Orbex, with direct hands-on experience of the assets, programmes, and customers that define this market.

Our model is designed to generate near-term revenue from day one.
