EireComposites has secured its first production contract in the commercial aircraft seating market as it expands into the aircraft cabin interiors sector.
The contract will see the company produce an initial batch of composite interior panels and structural components for a customer in the premium aircraft seating market.
Prior to this contract, the company has typically supplied composite structures for aerospace and industrial applications.
“Winning our first production contract in aircraft seating is a significant milestone for EireComposites,” said EireComposites CEO Tomas Flanagan. “It shows strong confidence in our technical capability, quality standards, and ability to meet the high requirements of premium cabin products.”
Flanagan added that the contract represents an “important new growth area” for EireComposites.
The company said there is potential to move into higher-volume production as aircraft programmes progress.
EireComposites has invested in new tooling, process development, and quality controls to support the production process of the programme.
