Premium Aerotec commences production in Romania

Premium Aerotec says it has begun manufacture of aircraft components at its new factory in Ghimbav, Braşov County, Romania.



The company is continuing to extend its business activities and pursue a course of expansion. Surrounded by the workforce, plant manager Jochen von Wurmb gave the signal for production kick-off at the facility.

Roughly eight months had elapsed from the ground-breaking ceremony in May 2010 until the start of production. This first building section will provide qualified jobs for about 300 people. The new plant will specialise in the production and assembly of metal components for all Airbus series programmes A320 family, A330/A340, A380. It will be integrated into the process chain of Premium Aerotec's German sites at Augsburg, Bremen, Nordenham and Varel.

“The choice of a new location is always a long-term and strategic decision,” said Dr Dieter Meiners, chief operating officer of Premium Aerotec and CEO of the local subsidiary Premium Aerotec SRL. “The technological development of our EU partner Romania will benefit from the long-term boost to its aerospace industry brought about by establishing our plant here. The high expert potential in the region enables us to offer high quality European products at global market prices on a long-term basis. By making this decision, we have successfully safeguarded all jobs at our German sites as well as creating new ones here in Romania. What is more, it improves our company's competitive ability on the global market.”

Premium Aerotec is planning to extend the new production facility with a second construction phase this year. It will then employ a workforce of up to 500 at its production facilities.
