Two of the 14 companies that will diversify into the aerospace sector are in the final stages of becoming suppliers to a manufacturer of aircraft seats, which they will export to the United States. Hand in hand and in conjunction with the Aerospace Cluster, there are already 14 companies that are already involved in the sector, Orozco Olvera stressed.

The COFOCE coordinator explained that in both branches the processes are the same but with different volume and mix. He explained that in the case of the aerospace market, companies require a low volume and high mix, with which the utility is greater.

“We have different processes, plastic injection components, machining components, additive manufacturing, right now we are developing two suppliers for a manufacturer of aircraft seats, they are already in the final stage and it would be a success story that they started in the automotive sector and that they are going to diversify into the aerospace sector,” he said.

With this, the internationalization of companies is sought, since the production destined for the aerospace sector will be exported to the United States.

The manager stated that some companies chose diversification to deal with the crises that have arisen in recent months.
