SUCCESSFUL ADJUSTMENT

FOR THE FASTENERS

BUSINESS

The end of safety stockpiling related to the protection

of the A320neo and A350 ramp-ups, combined with a

reduction in rates for large aircraft, have led to strong jerks

on the supply chain of the fasteners business in Europe.

As a result, the year 2018 saw a sharp downturn in demand

with a negative adjustment of around -12% on fasteners.

Production and costs have been adjusted accordingly, but

with a definite lag, to adapt to this new environment while

preserving a rebound capacity. Shipments have reached a

more normal and stable pace since the beginning of 2019.
