Keeping up the pace

By leveraging the ramp-up of important programs, particularly in Europe, and systematically implementing Lean Group methods, Zodiac Galleys & Equipment has combined operational performance and business performance.

Optimized manufacturing and solutions

Smooth running of plants, reduced delivery time: actions to streamline manufacturing and guarantee deliveries were successful. Also deployed in engineering, this optimization approach has improved the quality of studies and delivery times.

Innovation was also a part of the program, particularly with the modular galley, a finalist in the Crystal Cabin Awards at the Aircraft Interiors Expo in 2013 in Hamburg. Easy to reconfigure between rotations by airlines, it optimizes cabin space, the number of seats and their arrangement.

Record supplies

The divisions were able to meet a dual challenge. First the increase in manufacturing for major contracts concluded, particularly with Airbus for the A320 galleys (SFE^1S contract) and trolleys and containers of the A350, as well as for containers for Air France. In 2012/2013, the Group equipped nearly 40% of Airbus A320s, of which two thirds are new models designed as part of the SFE¹⁸ contract. Record deliveries to Airbus were also made for crew rest units for A330s. To support activity growth, the Pilsen plant received a new building, the Helborn plant was expanded and the manufacture of galley components was launched in Tunisia.

Second challenge: development, with the entry into service at Air France of the cargo container Herculight ALF and further development of the range of inserts for the new Bombardier Global 7000/8000 aircraft. The new generation Hybrite trolley is also in development.
