With a total of 56 companies exhibiting on a joint stand organized by the German Aerospace Industries Association (BDLI) and another 23 BDLI member company displays on separate locations, German's Aerospace industry is showing a very strong presence at this year's Paris Air Show. Thus, it impressively underlines its ambition to participate in the current, significant upswing in civil aviation and in future space and defence programmes.
With a total turnover of 24.7 billion Euros and employing a direct labor force of around 95,400 in 2010, the branch looks back on a decade-long track record of growth, even throughout the latest phase of economic crisis. Combining almost all strategic key technologies, it also supports Germany's international technology leadership and export success.
Dietmar Schrick, Managing Director of the BDLI enlarges on the business objectives of this year's participation:
"With new markets emerging for civil aviation and new challenges rising in defense and security in various continents, competition within industry is becoming global. Both for OEMs and aerospace suppliers, Paris Air Show offers excellent possibilities to systematically enlarge business networks, to intensify existing business relations and to optimize supply chains. This is essential in order to master new and upcoming programs, for example A350 or A320 NEO and other future challenges linked to eco-efficient flying and carbon-neutral growth of global aviation. There are no better platforms than leading international aerospace exhibitions to do so. Among the Big Three worldwide, Paris Air Show is surely the one with the biggest international reach. As a consequence, about half of our national aerospace companies are present in Le Bourget".
