Who will come out of the crisis the quickest? Answering this question requires industry expertise – and common sense: the higher the proportion of components produced in-house, the more immune you are to supply shortages, delays or quality losses. According to Kurt Pieringer, Vice President Operations at FACC, vertical integration is an important strategy which strengthens the company’s immune system and not a future concept, but something that was introduced back in 2015 with the decision to independently produce geometrically complex honeycomb structures. “In addition to using 5-axis milling machines, we also developed innovative clamping systems and special machining tools. This not only enabled us to rise to the geometric challenge, but also to greatly develop our expertise in plastic and metal honeycomb structures,” commented Pieringer. Now, FACC is no longer just clutching onto the concepts of insourcing and the simultaneous development of skills but taking them further.
