Kaiser Aluminum Corporation today announced it has reached agreement in principle with Airbus to supply aluminum plate and sheet for use in the production of commercial aircraft. The multi-year agreement is subject to definitive documentation, will commence upon the completion of the companies' existing supply agreement, and will extend Kaiser Aluminum's longstanding role as a major supplier of high quality semi-fabricated aluminum products to Airbus. "The commercial aerospace industry is poised for significant growth, and Airbus is positioned well to benefit from this strong demand," said Jack A Hockema, President, CEO and Chairman. "We are very pleased with the opportunity to continue as a strategic supplier of high-quality aluminum plate and sheet for their aerospace requirements and build on the strong, long-term relationship between our two companies. Additionally, we are confident that our recently-launched KaiserSelect solutions will significantly contribute to Airbus's success."
