Stand 5C04 | Hamburg Messe | 14–16 April 2026
Aircraft interiors manufacturers are under pressure from every direction. Components need to be lighter, last longer, use materials more efficiently and arrive through a supply chain that is robust enough to support demanding programmes.
Join Expromet Technologies Group on Stand 5C04 at AIX 2026 to meet the teams behind Investacast, Haworth Castings, Metaltech Precision and Tiverton Fabrications. Discover how the right manufacturing route can help reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, and deliver lighter, more durable and commercially resilient metal components for aircraft interiors applications.
Built around the priorities that matter now
In aircraft interiors, choosing the most effective manufacturing route has a direct impact on programme performance. Weight influences efficiency, durability supports reliable long-term use, material efficiency helps reduce cost and waste, and supply resilience protects programme continuity.
Expromet helps customers respond to these pressures by bringing together complementary manufacturing capabilities within one group. Instead of approaching a component through a single process, customers can assess the route that best suits the application, performance requirement and commercial objective.
Lighter components without compromising performance
Lightweighting remains a clear priority across the aircraft interiors sector. In seating, cabin hardware and other performance-critical applications, reducing excess weight can support wider efficiency goals without sacrificing strength or functionality.
Expromet supports this through a choice of manufacturing routes suited to different part requirements. Depending on the application, that may involve aerospace investment casting, pressure die casting, forging, precision machining or fabrication. Expromet Group companies helps aircraft interiors manufacturers to choose the right process from the outset, including advice on Design for Manufacture (DfM) to achieve the right balance of strength, geometry, finish and manufacturing efficiency, while also supporting weight reduction.
Durability that supports long-term value
Aircraft interiors components operate in demanding environments where reliability, consistency and service life all matter. A component that performs well over time helps reduce replacement frequency, avoid unnecessary disruption and support better lifecycle value. That’s why material choice, process selection and manufacturing quality are so important at the sourcing stage.
Expromet Group has the expertise and experience to help customers balance weight, performance and longevity more effectively when sourcing durable metal components for aircraft interiors applications.
Material efficiency and reduced waste
Material efficiency is an important consideration in component manufacture, both commercially and environmentally. Customers want manufacturing routes that reduce waste, make better use of raw material and support efficient production without compromising performance or quality.
Expromet’s multi-process capability makes that possible by helping customers choose the most suitable route for each application. In some cases, a near-net-shape casting may reduce machining. In others, forging, machining or fabrication may provide the better result. The outcome is a more efficient production approach with better use of material and no loss of performance or quality.
Greater resilience in the supply chain
For many buyers, the challenge is not only what a component costs or how it performs, but how securely it can be sourced.
Expromet supports a more resilient approach by giving customers access to specialist businesses with complementary strengths, alongside UK capability and overseas sourcing options through trusted foundry partners. This affords customers greater flexibility when evaluating how a part should be made and supplied, giving flexibility whilst reducing dependence on a narrow manufacturing route.
