Pilatus and Strata partner to make UAE’s first hot press parts

Strata and Pilatus strengthen their partnership to manufacture hot press parts for first time in UAE.
  • The newly updated agreement between the two companies will pave the way for the production of Pilatus PC-24 Super Versatile Jet interiors
  • Strata has committed to a 70 percent Emiratisation rate for the project, and will be utilizing their next-gen Hot Press technology alongside a suite of Autoclave products

UAE Advanced Manufacturing pioneer Strata and the leading Swiss aerospace manufacturer  Pilatus have decided to strengthen their partnership  to manufacture hot press parts for the first time in the UAE. 

The newly updated agreement between the two companies will pave the way for the production of Pilatus PC-24 Super Versatile Jet interiors.

Strata will manufacture hot press parts, that will be added to its current Pilatus work packages, which include the PC-24 Belly Fairings, Flap Track Fairings, Pylon Fairings, Bullet Fairing, and Tail Cone, all of which bear the Al Ain manufacturer’s ‘Made with Pride in the UAE’ seal of quality.

Both parties have reported that Strata will be further integrated, not least as engineering partner for DO (Design Organisation), wherein that signature commitment to excellence will be realised to its full potential.

“In Strata’s 12-year history, our name has become synonymous with quality and pride,” Strata CEO Ismail Ali Abdulla said. “As a champion of the UAE’s homegrown manufacturing sector, our ability to scale up production is a testament to what can be achieved in this country and how we can positively impact the global aerospace industry.”

Pilatus CEO Markus Bucher said that Strata’s ability to consistently deliver innovation and the realisation of a shared vision “make the UAE manufacturing firm a solid partner that Pilatus is delighted to be working with further on a long term basis”.

Strata has committed to a 70 percent Emiratisation rate for the project, and will be utilizing their next-gen Hot Press technology alongside a suite of Autoclave products.
