Test, measure, calibrate: there is no other sector where certification is as important as in aviation. An interview with Hubert Kern, Vice President Quality at FACC.
AIRlabs Austria GmbH, founded in January 2020, is the operating organization of the AIRlabs project - the abbreviation "AIRlabs" stands for Aeronautical Innovation & Research Laboratories Austria. Together with renowned partners from science, industry, as well as various research institutes and authorities, AIRlabs Austria is starting to set up and operate test and trial areas for unmanned aerial vehicle systems in Austria as part of "Take Off". The future research, development and certification of UAS (Unpiloted Aerial Systems) will be supported in real test areas, thus enabling an innovation path across all technology maturity levels.
FACC is one of the leading technology partners in the aerospace industry and, being a tier 1 supplier, maintains numerous strategic cooperations and partnerships with renowned aircraft and engine manufacturers all over the world. Now, FACC has received the coveted 2019 Diamond Supplier certification from the Canadian aircraft manufacturer Bombardier for the development and production of the wing-to-body fairings for the Bombardier Global 7500 and Challenger 350 programs.
FACC is promoting the in-house production of components and materials. After all, vertical integration particularly pays off during crisis situations.
In order to get from A to B, many solutions have been established on the market in recent years that eliminate the need to own a car. A large proportion of these solutions relate to the Sharing Economy approach, which is based on the shared use of mobility solutions. These mobility services need to be highly frequented in order to become profitable and viable in the long term. Consequently, these developments can be observed above all in urban areas, as they are associated with a higher population density and thus a higher probability of use. Overall, sharing mobility solutions have an impact on the sustainable symbiosis of ecology and economy.
FACC is a technology leader in the aerospace industry, with its innovative products represented onboard the most sophisticated aircraft of the world's leading aircraft manufacturers. This requires a strong supply chain. The company's most outstanding suppliers have now been honored with the FACC Supplier Excellence Award in gold, silver and bronze as well as the FACC Special Performance Award.
The mobility of the future is based on new technologies and the materials of tomorrow. FACC thinks beyond existing horizons, from the development and use of new materials to more economical manufacturing technologies for the efficient production of fiber composite components.
The Aftermarket Services team won the first major repair order for an A350 XWB winglet. FACC thus takes another important step in the expansion of the aftermarket customer segment.
FACC focuses on premium: in products and services, in work processes, in technologies. Certifications ensure the necessary high and stable standards. In order to obtain or renew a certificate, strict checks in the form of so-called audits must be mastered. In April the audit for the industry standard 9100 took place. A short success report.
Now it counts even more than usual: For each other. To each other. FACC says THANK YOU and looks proudly at the solidarity of its employees.
The company's goal is to implement a balance between effective, preventive measures to protect the entire workforce and their families, while at the same time fulfilling our obligations as a partner to the global aircraft industry. Our task force is constantly on duty to safeguard all interests as well as possible and to react to changes quickly.

Brand, culture, and communication of an enterprise are closely interrelated. Communication in touch with the pulse of time is simple and fast, up-to-date and informative, relevant and mobile. At FACC, high-tech can be found not only in its products, but also in its new communication channels. The following cornerstones form the basis of future growth.
Accordingly, for us at FACC, customer proximity also signifies geographical closeness, which is why we have offices near our customers' headquarters.
What was still impossible yesterday, has become reality today. We are witnessing a revolution of mobility in the skies. For us at FACC this means to keep an open mind, put out our feelers, and think ahead in order to stay ahead. In this connection, we distinguish between near, medium-term, and distant future.
In fall 2017, the FACC marketing team has been tasked by the management board to reposition the company. It was an exciting and also extremely work-filled journey: from the first workshop to the roll-out of our new brand.
Offering our customers added value while continuing to expand our leadership with regard to technology, costs and quality are vital parameters of FACC's corporate strategy. Our company is gearing up for the future through investments that can only be described as large-scale, not least when it comes to the dimensions of some acquisitions.
It‘s not just the quality and performance of a component that matters but also its efficient manufacturing that plays a decisive role in global competition. Apart from reliability and cost effectiveness, another critical characteristic is a high degree of flexibility seamlessly adapting
to supply the required number of units ordered by customers. Thanks to its clocked assembly line for Airbus A350 XWB translating sleeves as well as optimized blocker door production, FACC is well prepared for the future.
When it comes to spoiler expertise, FACC strives to be number 1. A crucial factor for achieving this goal is research and development. Optimizing weight and manufacturing components efficiently are key parameters in this endeavor.
Passenger aircraft can only earn money when they are in the air. For companies fitting out the interiors of new aircraft, this means swift delivery ensuring commissioning at the earliest possible date. When it comes to the manufacturing of interiors components, a high-volume production of units is essential. FACC has set itself the goal of developing a system for CFRP passenger cabin parts that ensures a serial manufacturing of large numbers of parts while keeping production times as short as possible.
