Reason: Matzen & Timm GmbH supplies important components for the Airbus A380.
The hoses, bellows and molded parts used meet the highest and latest safety requirements. The insulated Hypalon lightweight special hoses for the air distribution of the A380 air conditioning system, for example, meet the requirements of the newly applicable aviation standard FAR 25.856 (a) with regard to fire behavior. This requirement is intended to prevent the explosive spread of a local fire throughout the entire cabin of the aircraft.
The framework contract with Airbus Deutschland GmbH has a term of 6 years until 31.12.2010. Overall, the award of this contract consolidates Matzen und Timm's position as the most important supplier of hoses, bellows and sleeves for Airbus' "Single Aisle" and "Long Range" aircraft types to date.
