Sonaca and thyssenkrupp Aerospace extend partnership ©thyssenkrupp Aerospace

Sonaca Montreal, specialized in the manufacturing of large aluminum aerostructures, has opted for a long-term partnership with thyssenkrupp Aerospace and has extended its contract, which has been in effect since 2016. Through 2023, thyssenkrupp’s aerospace experts will be responsible for warehouse and supply chain management as well as comprehensive processing services for the just-in-time materials required for the Sonaca location in Mirabel, Quebec.

In order to meet the increased requirements and ensure just-in-time deliveries on a daily basis, Sonaca has invested in additional storage space and processing equipment. At the heart of this is the new waterjet cutting machine, which enables aluminum plate to be cut exactly to customer specifications.
