VIDEO: Mubea Aviation Turns Autocomposites Legacy Toward Aerospace
In a video interview with CW, Mubea Aviation talks about how it is transferring 30+ years of autocomposites know-how and growing its RTM process capabilities.
Mubea Aviation, the aerospace division of the Mubea Group based in Attendorn, Germany, has developed into an accredited systems supplier to the global aviation industry through a series of strategic acquisitions and in-house technology development.
The company builds on its metallics and composites expertise, leveraging carbon and glass fiber composites, tailor rolled blanks, and automation. Its approach includes traditional prepreg autoclaved parts production, as well as automated preforming and further automation of resin transfer molding.
Mubea Aviation’s production activities are centered around a facility in Turkey, where its composite capabilities are being advanced for aerospace applications, including high-volume interior parts.
Zipline has partnered with Mubea Aviation since 2022, applying Mubea’s RTM process to integrate carbon fiber composites into delivery drones, illustrating cross-industry deployment of its technology.
In July 2025, Airbus Helicopters selected Mubea Aviation to supply composite assemblies for the H160 program, signaling a significant aerospace customer win.
The collaboration extended in June 2026 with a serial supply contract from Airbus Atlantic for CFRP structural components for the A350 program, marking a further expansion of Mubea Aviation’s role in large-aircraft composite structures.
