thyssenkrupp Aerospace delivers first major order from Casablanca site

June 17, 2019: The Moroccan branch of thyssenkrupp Aerospace has delivered its first major order for processed aluminum plates, thus making the Casablanca site fully operational.

thyssenkrupp Aerospace is a leading global supplier of materials, supply chain solutions and metalworking services for the aerospace industry. The new branch is located on an area of around 3,500 sq metres (warehouse, production hall and offices) in the Ouled Salah area, between the city centre of Casablanca and the airport industrial area.

"The aerospace industry has been growing rapidly over the last years, which is why reliable, timely supply and sustainable quality via a local presence is very important to our customers. Our new materials processing and logistics centre in Casablanca serves precisely these needs and ensures just-in-time supply to our customers," said Eric Cornilleau, managing director, thyssenkrupp Aerospace France.

The partners were previously supplied from France.

"Thanks to our immediate proximity, we have now significantly shortened the distances to our local customers, which benefits our partners enormously and allows to develop our relationships with additional volumes to be supplied to the Moroccan companies. With the delivery of our first major order for processed aluminum plates, our Casablanca site is fully operational," added Cornilleau.

Proximity to local partners is particularly important for short-term delivery requests. In addition, customers no longer have to operate their own warehouses and can have their required materials delivered in time.

Apart from storing materials such as aluminum, steel and copper in various forms and alloys, the service portfolio also includes extensive processing services. State-of-the-art machines cut the material exactly to customer specifications and deliver it in time to the customer's plant.
