Bombardier Aerospace ha anunciado hoy el inicio de la producción de su instalación transitoria en Marruecos. Tras la ceremonia de graduación que se celebró el 1 de febrero en el Institut des Métiers de l’Aéronautique (IMA), 18 montadores de aeronaves empezaron la producción de los primeros componentes de Bombardier que saldrán de esta planta de fabricación de Marruecos.
“Se trata de un hito muy emocionante para nosotros, pues estamos empezando a ver cómo nuestras operaciones en Marruecos empiezan a tomar forma,”, afirmó Hugo Brouillard, director general de Bombardier Aerospace en Marruecos. “With 18 new local employees fully engaged and trained in the Bombardier manufacturing process and philosophy, this is the first step towards a long future of quality component manufacturing at another world-class Bombardier facility.”
Following the initial announcement in November 2011 of Bombardier’s intention to build a manufacturing facility in Morocco, the Company has extended its timeline for construction of the new facility as the manufacturing plan evolves. In order to maintain the timeline for production Bombardier has set up operations in a transitional facility located at the Mohammed V International Airport in Nouaceur in the Greater Casablanca region, near its future permanent facility.
The Bombardier Aerospace transitional manufacturing facility in Morocco is currently producing simple structures including flight controls for the CRJ Series aircraft. By year-end, the facility is expected to employ approximately 100 fully trained aircraft assemblers.
