COMPOSITE & STRUCTURE REPAIR

Repair of structural components

We have a wide range of experience in the repair and overhaul of structural components made of sheet metal and fiber composite materials. Our highly specialized specialists place particular emphasis on high-end repair techniques and individual solutions for damage beyond the SRM/CMM limits. The precise monitoring and maintenance (MRO, Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul) of aircraft is our core business. The MRO market has developed positively in recent years and we have developed with it. As an EASA, FAA, UK CAA, TCCA Part-145 certified MRO service provider, we are the leading provider of this service in Europe. We are qualified for the repair of structural components according to C1, C4, C6, C7, C8, C9, C14 and C20 - as well as the services for non-destructive testing of components and aircraft structures according to D1.

Unfortunately, we have to announce that there was a fire at our location in Schkeuditz (LEJ) and that parts of the hall are no longer usable. Our emergency team, led by our managing director Dieter Krah, is on site to initiate the next steps. We can currently only operate to a limited extent, but alternative options for our work have already been found. Our team will be happy to answer any questions you may have...

Leipzig location

For seven years now, we have been working with our specialists from more than 10 nations to repair aircraft structural components and carry out non-destructive testing of aircraft structures on site. Our MRO facility is just a few minutes away from Leipzig Airport (LEJ), one of the largest cargo hubs in Europe. We have been in our larger, modern headquarters since the beginning of 2024.

Our various specialist departments, structure & composite repair and ndt (non-destructive testing), can now process our customer orders in a modern environment on 6000 square meters. The most important investments in our new facility are a 5-ton crane system, which enables us to handle particularly large components, such as the GE90 engine's thrust reverser with a diameter of >4 meters or landing flaps up to 9 meters long and 4 meters wide. As well as the new large-scale painting system for the complete painting of large aircraft components. And our hall is valued by all employees as a modern workplace. We are looking forward to the future!
