FACC receives Diamond Supplier Certification from Bombardier

24.08.2020

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.

Strong technology Partner

Over the years, FACC has become a strong technology partner to Bombardier as regards the development and manufacture of components and system solutions. There are several fields of cooperation: FACC manufactures wing-to-body fairings, rudders, and fan cowls, up to complete interiors including galleys and crew recreation rooms.

Weight-optimized composite products

FACC has also delivered a number of light, weight-optimized composite products for the Bombardier Global 7500 and Challenger 350 programs. Now, for its work in 2019, the company has been honored with the coveted Bombardier Diamond Supplier certification, for its wing-to-body fairings. “The strong long-term business relationship with Bombardier has been marked by numerous common successes in development and project work“, reports Robert Machtlinger, CEO of FACC AG. One example is the key components now awarded with the prize: in the initial phase, FACC was responsible for the fabrication of first article parts and the performance of certification tests, now the wing-to-body fairings are manufactured in series and delivered by FACC.

Getting the Diamond Supplier certification from Bombardier is a great joy and honor to us, and an encouragement to continue on our path of being a best-in-class business partner to our customers. This is one of our key objectives and an important part of our strategy for success.
