Massivit Announces Opening of First Europe-Based RapidWings Service Center

Recently, as part of its increased focus on aerospace and defense, Massivit announced the launch of its RapidWings turnkey composite manufacturing platform. Now, the company has opened its first Europe-based Service Center to support RapidWings. The Service Center, located in Barcelona, Spain, functions under Massivit’s Europe entity, and will produce and deliver on-demand tooling for aerospace and defense manufacturers. The heart of the center is Massivit’s Cast In Motion (CIM) digital technology, which will help reduce traditional lead times for tooling, like molds, mandrels, masters, and jigs and fixtures, by allowing users to get around current bottlenecks and supply chain constraints. According to Massivit, based on the defense projects the RapidWings platform has already completed, manufacturers can expect a tooling lead time reduction of up to 90%.

“The establishment and operation of the service center in Spain is a milestone in Massivit’s business transformation and in the transition to the implementation of our international expansion strategy. Europe, led by the sovereign aviation and security markets, is currently facing unprecedented bottlenecks in supply chains. With our technological manufacturing platform, we enable customers to shorten tooling production times from months to just a few days, while maintaining full operational control and cost savings,” said Yossi Azarzar, CEO of Massivit.

“The Barcelona Service Centre is just the first step in building a global network of service centers and manufacturing facilities in other dominant markets, and we are confident that it will be a strong growth engine to establish us as a key and important link in the international supply chain in the coming years, while creating value for all stakeholders in the company.”
