Seville, September 27th 2013.- The beginning of the A400M mass production has already generated a work for Andalusian firms valued at more than €130 million, according to data by the HÉLICE Andalusian Aerospace Cluster , which estimates that in the next 20 years, after the delivery of orders already agreed by seven European countries, the Programme will generate a turnover of €4,400 million to the Andalusian auxiliary industry. Just the Final Assembly Line (FAL) has meant an investment of more than €400 million and a direct subcontracting of €180 million to the Andalusian aeronautical auxiliary industry.
Fifteen Andalusian firms of the HÉLICE Cluster have received direct orders from Airbus Military, although the works of A400M have indirectly benefited more than 63% of the Andalusian auxiliary industry, composed of 120 companies. The main entities of the Hélice Cluster involved in the A400M have been Aeroestructuras Sevilla, Aertec, Airgrup, AyG Sevilla, Elimco, Galvatec, Industria Siderometalúrgica Giennense, Inespasa, MDU, Navair, Alestis Aerospace, Sevilla Control, UMI Aeronáutica, Carbures and Mecatecnic.
The HÉLICE Cluster -which Board of Trustees gets together the main institutional and industrial agents of the Andalusian aerospace industry and which has a Board of Business Action currently composed of 43 firms- has valuated very positively this Andalusian participation in the A400M and it has remarked the opportunities of growth that it means for the coming years, with the arrival of the stage of full production performance.
The president of the Andalusian aeronautic cluster, Juan Pedro Vela, considers that the delivery ceremony of the first order to France by Airbus Military, will be a “historical moment” for the Andalusian aerospace industry and that it must be a stimulus for companies so that they will be conscious of the outstanding opportunity that it means the assembly of A400M in Andalusia. “We must take advantage of the boost of the A400M and other civil programmes of Airbus, where we also have a great participation in order to access to new international markets, to reach agreements with other main manufacturers and to increase our specialization, competitiveness and technological capacity”, remarked Juan Pedro Vela.
The president of the HÉLICE Cluster believes that the positive growth data of the Andalusian aerospace industry in the last years –which were backed up in 2012 by a particular increase in the auxiliary industry (+14%)- will continue during 2013, fostered by the greatest works related to the first deliveries of A400M and the assembly of the first units of the A350 programmes, an aircraft that achieved its inaugural flight last June.
