Albany Engineered Composites, a segment of Albany International Corp., announced today it reached an agreement with Boeing to continue composite fuselage frame manufacturing for the 787 Dreamliner.
Under the agreement, Albany continues to manufacture about 300 unique composite fuselage frames for the 787 Dreamliner, including forward sections 41 and 43 and aft section 47. Albany has produced composite fuselage frames for Sections 41 and 43 since Boeing's original award in 2014.
"We are excited to continue this partnership, built over more than a decade of successful collaboration," said Chris Stone, president of Albany Engineered Composites. "Albany is fully committed to supporting the ramp of the 787 programme with the consistency, quality and reliability our customers have come to expect from Albany. We remain focused on delivering high-performance components at scale while continuing to advance our manufacturing efficiency and operational excellence across the business."
The Boeing 787 work is performed at Albany's facility in Salt Lake City, Utah.
