Cessna Aircraft Company renewed a five-year contract with Weber Technologies this month to provide the aircraft manufacturer with over 400 different parts and assemblies through 2011. This extends a previous five-year contract that expired at the end of last year. Weber is responsible for planning, production, inventory, and distribution to all Cessna Aircraft Facilities on a just-in-time basis. President David Fiocca expressed Weber’s commitment to the partnership. “Cessna is a great company to work with! Our relationship with Cessna has made us a better supplier and we look forward to working together in the future”.

Weber Technologies was awarded a five-year contract by Hamilton Sundstrand to produce components and assemblies for the Boeing 787 Program. The package, which consists of fifty different parts and assemblies, requires many of Weber’s core competencies; hydroforming, press brake, laser and water-jet machining, and high speed machining of aluminum plate. Most items require extensive welding, hardware installation, solution and age hardening, as well as conversion coating and anodization. Company president David Fiocca explained, “our team is experienced in this type of complete program management”. In-house planners direct production and inventory of a customer’s product based on build forecasts enabling just-in-time deliveries to the customer’s facility. Weber worked extensively with Hamilton Sundstrand over the past year developing the design and producability of the items. Some of the parts went through several design changes before being approved for production. Mr. Fiocca stressed that partnering with our customer during development is an essential part of our business model.

December 2007
Weber’s High Bay addition is nearing completion. New production equipment scheduled to arrive just after the first of the year will utilize several of the new bays. The equipment will increase Weber’s sheet metal forming and finishing capabilities to include parts previously too large to process. Slated for installation is a large bladder press, two large bed hydraulic presses, and additional hydroforming equipment. Sections of the addition will house machining equipment to process the larger fabrications. These investments will enable Weber to provide larger sheet metal assemblies to its airframe customers.
