Aerospace & Defense

The industry witnessed the groundbreaking technological development the last decade. The comings of glass cockpit avionics, composite materials, lightweight engines and ultra-large airliners have made the aerospace industry more complex together with industrial processes and the supply chain.

International aeronautical firms in Mexico have also pivoted from harness assembly to production of full structural aircraft components, composite airframes and micro-tolerance turbine parts. Where most of the aeronautical manufacturing operations in Mexico had recently only produced independent aircraft parts and components, there are now four platforms which will produce practically the full aircraft airframe, to which, the other systems could be added on to produce a finished product.

Attend the Mexico Aerospace Fair (FAMEX) from April 24 – 27, 2019 in Santa Lucia, Mexican Air Force Base and take the opportunity for your company to explore exciting commercial opportunities at an international venue which promises to attract more than 500 aerospace companies.

The attraction of Mexico is that it has become one of the  largest trading partner of USA, and the Mexican aviation sector is the 15th largest in the world, boasting more than $7.2 billion in exports and 16 percent growth in 2017. This is a real chance for companies to grow their operations by taking advantage of an incredibly lucrative region.
