Advanced materials that move the aerospace industry forward

The aerospace industry is experiencing trends that are reshaping the sector. An important focus is on efficiency, driving the development of larger, longer-range aircraft with improved fuel economy. Simultaneously, safety remains a top priority, with advances in materials, design, and manufacturing processes to enhance aircraft reliability.

To meet growing passenger demand and reduce environmental impact, industry leaders are investing in sustainability. This includes a strong push towards alternative fuels like sustainable aviation fuel and exploring hydrogen and electric technologies. Moreover, the industry is embracing digitalization and automation to optimize operations and improve aircraft performance.

Alleima has been a trusted partner to the aerospace industry since 1959, offering a comprehensive range of seamless stainless-steel tubes tailored to meet complex requirements. We use engineering as a force for sustainability to bring about real differences. Our expertise relies on delivering advanced material solutions for critical applications such as fuel systems, instrumentations, guide tubes, landing gear components, and engine parts.

Alleima at the Farnborough International Airshow

The Farnborough International Airshow takes place every second year, which enables the chance to meet clients, talk to suppliers and reinforce our brand in the market with our latest developments.

Advancing efficiency and reliability

At this year's event, we showcased our titanium alloys portfolio - the high strength-to-weight ratio and excellent corrosion resistance make titanium indispensable for critical aircraft structures and support the industry's continued focus on safety and performance gains.

We also showed our seamless stainless-steel tubing products, emphasizing how they relate to essential applications - including an engine display featuring our curved tubing. Our seamless stainless-steel tubes have long played a key role in modern aircraft, with grades such as 21-6-9 particularly suitable for landing gear components and high-pressure instruments.

Aside from our advanced materials technologies, visitors to Farnborough were also interested in our leading engineering and technical strengths. Our dedicated teams start by collaborating closely with customers to understand specific needs and then develop highly customized solutions. Advanced tube-bending is just one example of what's possible, another by-product of our integrated approach to raw materials, production, and R&D.

Our team also explored the opportunity to discuss with major customers the upcoming qualified stainless steel bar grades. The qualification project pipeline is progressing towards its finalizations for an official launch during next year.
