The leading Austrian premium supplier of high-quality cast and rolled aluminium products used in a wide range of industries including the aircraft, AMAG Austria Metall AG’s fully owned subsidiary, AMAG components with its headquarter in Übersee am Chiemsee in Germany since the beginning of the year, has been working successfully with Ruag Aerostructures for many years.
AMAG components is an important supplier of complex individual parts and assemblies, that has now been able to secure the existing scope of supply for years to come and acquire additional orders for new parts and assemblies.
However, both the parties have agreed not to unveil the elements of the contract, which has a total volume of around one hundred million euros.
Gerald Mayer, the CEO of AMAG Austria Metall AG said, “This important and successful contract with our long-standing customer Ruag Aerostructures in Oberpfaffenhofen in Germany is a wonderful confirmation of our clear focus on high-quality special products, as well as our reliability when it comes to delivery assurance and service.”
“The combination of expertise in machining at the German sites and the sustainable production of aluminium input material, as well as recycling in Ranshofen, makes our offering unique.”
Dipl.-Ing. Johannes Pauli, the Manager for Strategic Procurement & Supply Chain Quality at Ruag Aerostructures said, “This result demonstrates the quality of the partnership and rewards the daily work of the teams on both sides. With the extension of the supply contract, we contribute towards the stable ramp-up in production of the A320 Single-Aisle-Programme, under currently very challenging conditions. Our cooperation ensures customer satisfaction and proves the competitiveness of Germany as an aviation location.”
Furthermore, to the technical requirements for the products, which are primarily used in the Airbus A320 Single-Aisle-Programme, the focus was particularly on reducing the use of raw materials in production. AMAG offers premier prerequisites for this, as almost the entire production process - from raw material (primary aluminium, aluminium scrap) and semi-finished products (sheet, plate) to ready-to-install individual parts or assemblies - is provided from a single source. This setup is unique and brings efficiency and assurance to the customers.
