AERNNOVA

“Design and manufacture of aerostructures”

AERNNOVA is a company dedicated to the design and manufacture of integrated aerostructures and components such as wings, stabilisers and fuselages for the major aircraft and helicopter manufacturers worldwide.

Since its establishment in the Basque Country 30 years ago, the company has continued to design and manufacture for the most demanding aircraft ratings and quality for all its global clients.

As a result, it has accumulated a portfolio of clients and programmes which is unique in the sector. In addition to Spain the company is present in Mexico, the USA, Brazil and Romania; and serves major clients including AIRBUS, THE BOEING COMPANY, BOMBARDIER or EMBRAER.

AERNNOVA offers the most efficient technical solutions which together with the highest quality of products and delivery reliability, embody the high value they provide their clients with.

This effort has been combined with an ongoing firm engagement in the field of R&D and innovation, to position the company at the forefront of the technological breakthroughs in the airspace sector in recent years.

“We believe that to continue growing and keep generating value we need to bring technology-based innovation to maintain and increase our competitive advantage and therefore attract our clients”, stated Miguel Ángel Castillo, Technological Development Director at AERNNOVA.

To this end, “at AERNNOVA we have created the concept of Extended Technological Company, and TECNALIA is a key technological partner in this collaboration model”,

“TECNALIA helps us to develop technologies which are not sufficiently mature to be offered to our clients and acts as a bridge with fundamental research carried out at Universities”.

For over 15 years, AERNNOVA and TECNALIA have collaborated in fields such as:

• New materials
• Smart processes
• Robotic solutions
• Industry 4.0

In this context, “I would like to highlight TECNALIA as a collaboration driver with other European partners or in the development of new innovative structures made from composite materials or in lightweight robotics”.
