Diehl Aviation has commissioned a new leased warehouse facility in Nyírbátor, Hungary, further reinforcing its logistics infrastructure to support rising aircraft production rates across key programmes.
The new site provides around 3,000 m² of floor space and is located close to Diehl Aviation Hungary’s main production facility in Nyírbátor. The additional capacity strengthens material supply processes and helps maintain stable production flows as aircraft manufacturers continue to increase build rates.
The global aviation sector is currently experiencing sustained growth, characterised by rising aircraft demand and higher programme output. In response, Diehl Aviation is expanding its operational footprint and enhancing supply chain resilience. The introduction of additional dual-site capabilities forms part of a targeted strategy to safeguard material availability and ensure logistics performance in line with future rate increases. The decision to establish a permanent external warehouse was driven by growing single-aisle lavatory production and increasing volumes across several aircraft programmes.
Designed to deliver efficient, safe and scalable logistics operations, the warehouse offers storage capacity for up to 5,700 pallets. It features clearly defined zones for storage, picking and handling, and is fully integrated into Diehl Aviation’s internal logistics organisation.
Jochen Klink, Chief Operating Officer at Diehl Aviation, said: “Our industry is entering a decisive phase of sustained production ramp-up, and logistics performance is a critical enabler. The new warehouse in Nyírbátor strengthens our logistics backbone, supports the ramp-up of major programmes, and ensures a stable supply to our customers. It also reinforces our dual-site setup in Hungary and prepares us for further rate increases.”
With the facility now operational, Diehl Aviation continues to expand its manufacturing and logistics capabilities in Hungary. Approximately 1,300 employees are based at the company’s Hungarian sites in Nyírbátor and Debrecen, making Nyírbátor Diehl Aviation’s second-largest global location by headcount.
