Global demand for new aircrafts will be as high of 40,000 units over the next two decades. As the worldwide fleet of commercial airlines doubles by 2035, airlines will need to work with adaptable manufacturers who can guarantee short delivery times, rapid reactivity, efficient logistics supply chain and quality traceability.

The rapidly evolving aerospace market calls for a solid supply chain where, from the delivery of incoming raw materials on our receiving dock to the finished product at the customer’s application point, transparency and traceability will remain paramount. 

Balancing high performance and low environmental impact. The aviation industry is committed to delivering sustainable products and services to meet strict regulations and requirements.

Among the major challenges facing the aerospace industry is ensuring the ability to accelerate production levels in the most efficient way possible. Henkel’s manufacturing plant in Montornès del Vallès, Spain, is ready.

Henkel opened its new aerospace adhesives manufacturing facility in Montornès, Spain. This dedicated and cutting-edge production site provides valuable production capacity to support aerospace manufacturers and their suppliers.

Thanks to 3-D printing and the support of LOCTITE^® products, 4moms is able to achieve rapid product development in a demanding market.

LOCTITE^® products are used to provide reliability along the whole manufacturing process: assembly of hydraulic pipes, fixing of hydraulic pipe systems, raw material processing for propeller hubs, securing of steering mechanisms, end cap fixing on hub shafts, and securing dowel pins for propeller blades.

LOCTITE^® resins and adhesives made it possible to develop composite rims that increase driving performance while being lighter, more durable and fatigue resistant.

Our LOCTITE^® MAX 3 matrix resin and our adhesives were vital parts in the development of the composite doors for the Roding Roadster that heavily reduce weight while being more robust.
