FACC is expanding its cooperation with Kineco Aerospace to a second work package of composite components for FACC's customer Airbus. The components will be produced in #India, comprising several thousand parts per year, with serial production scheduled to start by the end of 2027. The step follows the completion of a qualification milestone with #Airbus. The cooperation builds on the long-term supply-chain agreement signed by the two companies at the Paris Air Show in 2025. It is part of FACC's commitment to supporting the growth of India's aerospace ecosystem by developing industrial capabilities with long-term partners.

"India is becoming an increasingly important part of the global aerospace industry, and our strategy is to develop industrial capabilities there with trusted, long-term partners," says Andreas Furthmayr, EVP Aerostructures, #FACC. "Kineco has already demonstrated the standards we require, and this second work package reflects the confidence we have built together. We are not sourcing from a market — we are building capabilities with partners, and growing with them as India's aerospace ecosystem develops."


S.R. Mukherjee, Chief Operating Officer – #KinecoAerospace: "Being entrusted with a second Airbus work package by FACC is a significant milestone in our partnership and a strong endorsement of Kineco's advanced #composite manufacturing capabilities. Since signing our long-term agreement in Paris in 2025, Kineco and FACC's relationship has been founded on performance, quality and mutual trust. This second work package of composite components by FACC for its customer Airbus further strengthens Kineco's position as a strategic manufacturing partner within the global #aerospace supply chain and supports Kineco Group’s vision of building world-class composite manufacturing capabilities in India for the world.

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share : Robotic 3D printing can compete with traditional boatbuilding

Image
Today's KNOWLEDGE Share “Robotic 3D printing can compete with traditional boatbuilding”, Simone Barbera and Mattia De Santis, Caracol V2 catamaran was printed in Italy at Caracol’s production center and headquarter in Barlassina, near Milan, with a Heron AM 400, Caracol’s robotic Large Format Additive Manufacturing (LFAM) platform. The lattest was specifically configured with a 7-axis robotic arm mounted on a rail, enabling the printing of parts up to 10 meters in length. How did the collaboration between V2 Group and Caracol come about? Simone Barbera : The collaboration between V2 Group and Caracol originated from a shared vision to revolutionize boat manufacturing through sustainable innovation. V2 Group, a Spanish-company specialized in nautical design and engineering, is seeking to develop electric vessels manufactured sustainably. On the other hand, Caracol, leader in robotic advanced manufacturing technology, had had years of experience working with Large Format Additive Ma...

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share : What Is Going Wrong in UK Plastics Recycling?

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share What Is Going Wrong in UK Plastics Recycling? Biffa shut its Sunderland plant. Viridor walked away from Avonmouth and Rochester. Yes Recycling Fife collapsed within a year. All three were backed by major investments All three had buyers lined up for recyclate All three are now offline This is not bad luck It is bad structure Over the next four posts I will break down: 1. Why cheap virgin imports are undercutting UK recyclers 2. How weak policy enforcement is fuelling market failure 3. What volatile PRNs and cheap exports are doing to infrastructure 4. Why demand from brands is softer than their promises Let’s start with the first: **Cheap Virgin Resin = Broken Economics** Virgin PE, PP, and PET have been flooding the global market. New capacity in Asia and the US has driven prices down 30 to 40 percent. Meanwhile, recycled plastic costs more to produce in the UK than it can sell for. We are asking UK recyclers to compete with materials made in places with – ...

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share : A BUG IN INJECTION MOLDING

Image
Today's KNOWLEDGE Share A bug in injection molding – an injection-molded part in a bug? Neither! Nature and injection molding have reached similar results. Nature created the first micro-gear long before any human engineering existed. One such example is the Issus coleoptratus (shown in the picture). Furthermore, only now are we reaching the point where injection-molded polymer microgears can approach this level of performance. Looking at the images, which one do you think is the natural gear, and which one is the molded version? It is not that easy to tell, right? Their appearance and operating principles are surprisingly similar. Chitin, a natural linear polymer, forms what nature essentially "molds” into shape. In engineering, we rely on advanced technical polymers to produce similar geometry through actual injection molding. They are not the same material, yet they solve the same issue: Stiffness, dimensional stability, and reliable function at a scale where tolerances...
