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.
