Strong together
The benchmark in composites: ARC
We have the capabilities and know-how to maintain all composite and bonded materials used in modern aircraft. Our service portfolio comprises the testing, repair, maintenance, overhaul and modification for nacelles, radomes and flight controls. In addition, you can rely on comprehensive spare parts supply, asset management, pooling concepts, contract management, manufactured parts (21 G) and engineering.
Licensed by the original equipment manufacturers for all repair levels and developing our own approved innovative repair procedures, we carry out repairs in cases where others would be forced to scrap the component. Based on a knowledge that we have acquired over decades, we also invest in the future to support modern fleets of any size and mix. Our composites specialists are all driven by the same goal: to provide you with high-quality services for nacelles and other composite parts at low cost.
“We're always concentrating on professionally rendering our services for composite materials towards innovative solutions, right from the entry into service of new aircraft and engine types.”

Mastering new technologies
Repairing aircraft parts made of carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) both cost-effectively and in a durable manner is no easy matter. It calls for specialists who have the right prerequisites – the experience and the ability to master cutting-edge technologies as they emerge. Our engineers work together with both original equipment manufacturers and airworthiness authorities to develop new repair methods and to seek out new technologies for your benefit. Our in-house developed innovative repair procedures, such as a mobile repair robot, not only set new standards in the industry, but directly result in increased efficiency and cost reductions.
