ÉireComposites has announced a new deal with a subsidiary of the Aviation Industry Corporation of China, expanding Ireland’s international reach in aviation.
GALWAY, August 2024 – ÉireComposites is a design, manufacturing and testing company based in Co. Galway, making a material difference across land, sea and air. It has a deep heritage in light-weight high performance composite materials and aerospace production and provides work to over 70 people in the locality. Parts from its factory have been flying on commercial aircraft since 2008.
AVIC SAC Commercial Aircraft Co. Ltd. designs, tests, manufactures, and distributes airplanes. The company mainly produces civilian airplanes, commercial aircrafts, and related components.
This month, the two organisations shared the co-signing of a significant new contract, which sees ÉireComposites manufacturing internal components for the esteemed Airbus A220.
