ZIM Aircraft Seating and ZIM Aircraft Cabin Solutions (formerly HAECO Cabin Solutions) are making their debut joint appearance at this week’s Aircraft Interiors Expo (AIX) in in Hamburg. Just eight months after the companies merged to form the ZIM Group, the group is presenting their joint developments for the first time at AIX, including new premium aircraft seating models: the ZIM ZP range and the ZP450.
“The merger to form the ZIM Group is going according to plan and is on the right track by leveraging many synergy potentials,” stated Sven Achilles, CEO of ZIM Group. “Our joint presence is not only an expression of our shared passion for high-quality aircraft interior solutions, but also a statement of our determination to become one of the best suppliers in the industry.
“Our aim is to use the combined expertise of both sister companies to strengthen the ZIM Group’s competitiveness in the international arena, thereby enhancing our reputation as a supplier. Our new slogan, ‘Passion And Performance’, is intended to illustrate this and spurs us on to further expand the individual adaptation of our products to the requirements of our customers.”
Achilles added that the merger of ZIM Aircraft Seating, based in Immenstaad, Germany and ZIM Aircraft Cabin Solutions, based in North Carolina, USA, brings advantages for aircraft manufacturer and airline customers in terms of improved service, accelerated product development times, and in turn more innovative products.
”The first jointly processed orders are already close to completion,” stated Achilles.
