SOLUTIONS

At AE Group, we offer an industrial solutions model that covers the entire aerospace manufacturing value chain. From the initial transformation of raw material to the achievement of specific geometries and formed components, we integrate sheet metal forming, skin stretching, machining, surface treatments and assembly within a single production cycle. This combination of technologies enables us to manage every phase with technical coherence, reduce external dependencies and maintain direct control over critical processes. Thanks to this integrated structure, we deliver fully finished parts and subassemblies ready for installation on the assembly line, with full traceability and compliance with the sector’s most demanding standards. Our industrial approach is based on technology, specialist expertise and operational control, ensuring quality, competitive lead times and a reliable response to the specific requirements of each aerospace programme.
