The partnership between AMAG Austria Metall AG and ThyssenKrupp Aerospace, which has existed since the very beginning of AMAG’s involvement in the aviation industry, has been extended for a further six months in the coming year with the signing of a new supply contract. This sees ThyssenKrupp Aerospace secure the procurement of premium aluminium for the coming year through AMAG.

Patrick Marous, ThyssenKrupp Aerospace’s CEO, said: “We are very pleased to have been able to conclude this contract as part of our long-term partnership with AMAG. In the current volatile market environment, it is our common goal to support our customers as a reliable partner. Long-term material supply is therefore an important part of our Materials as a Service strategy.”

AMAG’s aluminium, which is supplied in the form of sheets and plates to ThyssenKrupp Aerospace — a subsidiary of ThyssenKrupp Materials Services, which has locations in 22 countries — is used for the further production of almost all ‘aerospace segments’, such as outer shells, seats and structural parts for a number of aircraft manufacturers, including Boeing and Airbus.
