FACC AG, an Austrian aerospace manufacturer specializing in advanced composite aircraft structures, has expanded its composite manufacturing capacity in India through its long-standing partnership with Kineco Aerospace, reinforcing its global production network as aircraft build rates continue to rise.
The expanded collaboration is aimed at increasing the production of high-performance composite components for commercial aerospace programs while strengthening supply chain resilience and manufacturing flexibility. The move supports growing demand from aircraft manufacturers as the aviation industry accelerates production of next-generation, composite-intensive aircraft.
Under the partnership, Kineco Aerospace will manufacture additional composite aerostructures and aircraft components for FACC, leveraging its advanced manufacturing capabilities in Goa, India. The expansion is expected to enhance production capacity while maintaining the quality and certification standards required for global aerospace programs.
According to FACC, the partnership reflects the company's long-term strategy of building a diversified and resilient international manufacturing network. By expanding operations in India, the company aims to improve production efficiency, shorten supply lead times, and better support customers across the commercial aviation sector.
Advanced composite materials play a central role in modern aircraft by delivering high strength-to-weight ratios, corrosion resistance, and improved fatigue performance. Their widespread adoption enables aircraft manufacturers to reduce structural weight, improve fuel efficiency, lower emissions, and increase payload capacity.
"India has become an increasingly important part of our global manufacturing strategy. Expanding our collaboration with Kineco Aerospace allows us to strengthen production capacity while ensuring the high quality and reliability our customers expect," FACC said.
The expanded partnership also highlights India's growing role in the global aerospace supply chain, with the country continuing to attract investment in advanced manufacturing capabilities for composite aerostructures, aircraft interiors, and other high-value aviation components. Together, FACC and Kineco Aerospace aim to support future aircraft programs with scalable, cost-efficient, and technologically advanced composite manufacturing solutions.
