Constellium to supply Daher

Constellium SE, headquartered in Paris, has announced that has entered into a multiyear contract that expands its customer portfolio for business and regional jets and makes the company the strategic aluminum supplier for Daher, an aircraft manufacturer and an industry and service equipment supplier that also is based in France. Under the contract, Constellium will supply a range of flat-rolled aluminum products, particularly for the TBM and Kodiak aircraft.

Constellium and Daher will cooperate on joint supply chain initiatives and product development. Constellium says it will support TBM and Kodiak aircraft development as their production rates are increasing and will collaborate with Daher on the design of new solutions to further lightweight aircraft along with respective sustainability commitments. 

“We are very proud and enthusiastic to become the strategic aluminum supplier of Daher; this contract is the basis of future developments between our teams,” says Lionel Thomas, global aerospace sales director of Constellium’s Aerospace and Transportation business unit. 

“Choosing Constellium as our strategic aluminum supplier for the needs of our own aircraft and aerostructures programs is a major step for us and will build foundations for further partnership to develop sustainable and optimized aircraft and solutions,” Daher Vice President of Procurement Paul-Marie Dubreuil says.

Constellium’s facility in Issoire, France, will supply Daher.
