Airbus is the world’s second-largest manufacturer of commercial aircraft with more than 100 seats and maintains the site for the production of vertical stabilizers in Stade, among other locations. The expansion of production to include tail units for the A380 wide-body aircraft necessitated extensive new hall construction and changes in floor space allocation and material flow. The MALORG Consulting team coordinated and supported several projects.
