Aerospace experts are anticipating significant growth, with more than 30,000 new passengers and freight aircraft required by 2033. This is going to pose immense quantitative and qualitative challenges to the existing aerospace manufacturing plants. Augsburg-based Airbus subsidiary, Premium Aerotec, is ensuring its participation in this fiercely competitive field with the support of CGTech’s NC simulation software, Vericut, and the application of the new Force module for ongoing operational reliability and machining efficiency.
Premium AEROTEC is one of the world leaders in the development and manufacture of structures and manufacturing systems for civil and military aircraft alike. With locations in Augsburg, Bremen, Hamburg, Nordenham, Varel and Brasov (Romania), Europe’s leading aviation suppliers develop and manufacture the very latest in modern aircraft structures, from aluminium, titanium, and carbon fibre composites for the entire Airbus family.
The company is a key partner in the development and production of the A350 XWB, as well as providing parts for the Boeing 787 ‘Dreamliner’, the Eurofighter Typhoon, and the Airbus A400M heavy-lift military transport aircraft. Premium Aerotec was established in January 2009, with the merger of the EADS plant in Augsburg with the facilities of Airbus Germany in Nordenham and Varel. Under the governance of the Airbus Group, the company’s headquarters are in Augsburg. Here, around 4,000 people are employed with the focus on the manufacture and assembly of fuselage parts and heavy-duty structural components for military and civil programmes, with the use of hybrid lightweight structures, carbon fibre technologies, infusion processes, and sandwich construction techniques.
