In the main OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) programs, the company continued to work in 2022 to meet the commitments made to its clients in a scenario that, far from recovering from the effects of the pandemic, was affected by the cost increase resulting from the invasion of Ukraine.

In 2022, Aciturri continued its efforts to reorganize its industrial footprint, initiating the necessary actions to prepare the company for the confirmed rate increases in single and twine-aisle aircraft.

With the aim of satisfying the entire value chain of the products delivered, from the supply chain through the company itself to the end customer, Aciturri has continued in 2022 the implementation of the Quality First project, which is essential to ensure the quality of its products and to align the quality levels required by the end customer. Likewise, the Programs team has provided the necessary support to ensure that both series and new products are designed, manufactured and delivered in compliance with quality standards and to prepare the company to adapt to the requirements demanded.

In the Airbus programs, deliveries of the A320 Family (single-aisle aircraft) were completed, the ramp-up required by the manufacturer began, significant steps were taken to improve production management and industrial solutions were implemented to increase capacity and strengthen processes. The industrialization phase of a new assembly line for the HTP (Horizontal Tail Plane) has been completed, which will allow more robust processes and adapt a legacy program to the current state of the art in order to ensure future rate increases.

In the other Airbus programs, demand was confirmed and Aciturri successfully met the customer's requirements, working on several A350 product modifications to improve the aircraft's competitiveness, as well as on the activities for the new A350 Freighter. Regarding the Beluga XL, where Aciturri is responsible for the design and manufacturing of the Ventral Fin and Auxiliary Fin & HTP Box Extension packages, the delivery of the sixth aircraft has been completed and the spare parts requirements have been defined. On the A400M, the transfer of the Wing to Body Fairing program to Aciturri was successfully completed.

In the Boeing B787 programs, Aciturri is completing the industrialization phase of a new program, which will allow it to retain Boeing as a customer and to obtain process certifications.

Regarding the Embraer KC390, the team continues to work actively with the customer to develop the necessary changes required by the product to improve its performance and meet delivery commitments.

Aciturri signed two major contracts with Airbus Defence&Space (ADS) for the Falcon 10X, Dassault's new business jet, covering the design and manufacturing of the rudder and elevator as well as the assembly of the HTP and VTP spars. Development and industrialization activities successfully progressed in 2022 to be ready for delivery in 2023. For the C295, the company has been involved with ADS in setting up the documentation and industrial plans that ADS has defined with India.

For the rest of the programs, Aciturri has successfully covered the deliveries and continues to work with the customers in pursuit of improvements.
