Leipold Group, whose US office is located in Connecticut, is producing turned parts for the aerospace industry to expand its portfolio into a new sector. This follows a new partnership with the aerospace industry supplier GMT. The parts supplied are currently being used in various models, such as the Airbus A350.
The new portfolio includes connecting elements – in particular, fork joints, rings and bushings made from a range of different metals such as high-alloy steels, titanium and other special alloys. Siegfried Oser, head of purchasing in the field of aerospace for GMT, said: “Although Leipold is a complete newcomer to the sector, the decision in favor of this partnership turned out to be extremely far-sighted.”
