We develop the future of aviation
Premium AEROTEC is one of the leading suppliers (Tier 1 supplier) for civil and military aerostructures and is a partner in major European and international aerospace programs. Its core business is the development and production of large-scale and complex aircraft components made of aluminum, titanium and carbon fiber composites (CFRP). With around 6,000 employees at various locations in Germany and Romania, Premium AEROTEC is one of the leading European suppliers in this segment. Premium AEROTEC is represented with its products in almost all civil Airbus programs. Current military programs include the Eurofighter "Typhoon" and the A400M military transporter.
Premium AEROTEC's history began with its founding in 2009: on January 1, the Airbus plants in Nordenham and Varel and the former EADS plant in Augsburg became the new company Premium AEROTEC as a wholly owned subsidiary of the AIRBUS Group. One year later, the Airbus parts manufacturing facility in Bremen was added. At the same time, Premium AEROTEC SRL Romania also began manufacturing aircraft components at the newly established site in Braşov, Romania.
In order to meet the major challenge of developing the first zero-emission commercial aircraft by 2035, AIRBUS reassessed its industrial capabilities in 2021 and defined structural assembly as a core competence. Against this background, Airbus has fundamentally restructured its industrial setup in Germany.
As of July 1, 2022, the former Premium AEROTEC sites in Nordenham and Bremen are now part of the newly established Airbus Aerostructures GmbH. The business activities of the Premium AEROTEC sites in Augsburg, Varel and Braşov will be managed as a separate business unit under the name Premium AEROTEC Industry within Airbus GmbH.

Building on a solid foundation of experience garnered over the decades at its Augsburg, Varel and Braşov (Romania) sites, Premium AEROTEC develops and produces state-of-the-art aircraft structures from aluminium, titanium and carbon fibre composites (CFRP) for almost the entire Airbus family. These plants also supply major components for the Eurofighter and the A400M. In total, the individual Premium AEROTEC plants develop, produce and assemble large components for more than 600 new aircraft a year, which involves producing and processing around 15 million individual parts.
