Aerolia launches development program for 2012

Aerolia is today a company which has a solid base in the aerostructures market. Known through its production and recognised for its know-how, Aerolia is launching "Aerolia 2012", its development and transformation programme.

After a successful transition year and a turnover of around a billion dollars - 517 forward fuselage sections and 3.5 million aerostructures parts delivered in 2009 -, Aerolia's challenge is now to be part of the world's Top 3 in Aerostructures by 2020.

Aerolia's vision will target external and internal growth in the 5 market segments of aerostructures fuselages and in particular forward fuselage sections for commercial and regional aviation, business aircraft, military transport and helicopters.

"The Aerolia 2012 plan is therefore the first milestone in this development strategy, noted Christian Cornille, CEO of Aerolia. This programme represents an actual opportunity to equip our company with the means to be a privileged player of the consolidation of Aerostructures."

This programme is composed of 14 projects, hinged in 3 categories: Customer & Programme projects, Industrial & Supply Chain projects and Facilitator projects in the management, financial, information technology domains.

This plan will associate all the personnel working on the four Aerolia sites and in the Directions of the company.

"Our bases are sound and the contacts established with all aircrafts manufacturers worldwide show the interest that Aerolia represents for present and potential customers; with a complete portfolio of products with high added value and services, this dynamics of change will create the conditions for our growth and our competitiveness for the total satisfaction of our customers, shareholders and employees," concluded Christian Cornille.
