The creation of this centre responds both to the need to increase Pilatus’ production capacity and to the objective of optimising its supply chain in Europe, reducing delivery times and strengthening its competitive position in the international market. In addition, it represents a firm commitment to the generation of qualified employment in Andalusia, promoting regional economic development and establishing solid alliances with local companies in the aerospace sector.
Thanks to this expansion, Pilatus not only guarantees a more agile and efficient production, but also expands its network of technical support and maintenance services, offering closer and more personalized support to its customers throughout Europe and the rest of the world.
