Dallas Aeronautical Services (DAS) Brazil announced they are expanding into a new facility in São José dos Campos, Brazil. DAS Brazil will begin operating in the new facility starting in the first half of 2015. A subsidiary of Dallas Aeronautical Services, DAS Brazil specializes in the production, repair and overhaul of composites, structures and assemblies. DAS previously opened an office facility in the Technical Park at São José dos Campos, Universidade Vale do Paraíba (UniVap), which is used as an R&D office and for new project and contract development. The new facility, which is located outside of UniVap Technical Park, will be the actual repair station and will operate under the National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC) of Brazil. Both projects are being supported by Invest San Paulo and UniVap. The new facility will be utilized to better serve the business aircraft market in South America and will feature two 11’x9’ paint booths, one to be utilized for sanding, the other for painting, one 9’x13’ curing oven and a 16.5’x16.5’ climate controlled modular clean room. Operating in 16,200 ft² of space, the new facility will be located in the Eldorado Centro Commercial e Industrial Business Park. Once the new facility is up and running, DAS will be hiring additional workforce locally, and then training the new employees in both Brazil and in the US.
Already known for their custom work and quick turn times, DAS completed construction of a new facility that allows for expanded capabilities and a 25% increase in employees; all in order to reach their goal of further reducing the turn times they can offer to current and potential customers. Featuring two autoclaves, two state of the art paint booths and new welding certification, DAS opened the doors to their new 50,400 ft² facility during summer 2014. Specializing in the overhaul and repair of composites, thrust reversers and inlets for corporate aircraft, DAS designed their new facility, located in Cedar Hill, TX, to be as efficient as possible. A second new 8’ x 21’ working area autoclave gives DAS increased capacity over their previous facility and allows for oversized tools that are used for larger components, such as Engine Cowls, to be run in multiple loads. In addition, parts requiring different cure temperatures can now run at the same time in separate autoclaves, increasing DAS’ efficiency and reducing turn times.
