Schuster sets up aerospace parts factories as turn-key projects. We plan and equip the plant, take it through certification, and help win its first production work packages. It is one of the fastest ways into the aerospace market.
Programs our team has worked on
Why now
The aerospace industry is in a period of long-term growth, and we offer one of the fastest ways into it. We set up the plant from concept to operation, lead you through certification and qualification, and support business development, marketing and sales. Our goal is to secure your first production work packages from leading international aerospace companies, and to help you build a business that stays competitive.

The Schuster three-phase model
Three phases, run by one team: the production floor first, then certification, then marketing and sales.
Phase 01
We advise on all the infrastructure the plant needs and lay out the production floor so people, materials and production lines flow efficiently.
Phase 02
Support starts with basic regulatory compliance and runs through AS9100D and NADCAP accreditation for special processes, matched to what your key customers require. We then stay with you through qualification and approval with major aerospace customers.
Phase 03
We know the market and what major aerospace customers require. We lead the business development that wins your first work packages, and help you move from Build-to-Print to Build-to-Spec by adding engineering services.
Facilities we set up
Packages
We work across aerospace and defence: OEM manufacturing, field-ready systems and aircraft conversion programs.
One plant, or a whole aerospace industrial park. For countries that want to build an aerospace sector: qualified subcontractors, a vocational training centre, service providers, and the runway and test facilities to go with them.
We set up workshops that make, repair and reverse-engineer aircraft parts. They suit conversion programs, MRO organisations and older fleets in places where spare parts are hard to get. Includes staff training and authorisation, an equipment list and the minimum stock of raw material.
Passenger-to-freighter conversions. Our team is FAA-certified in the US to engineer and manufacture the conversion kits, and has delivered complete tubing sets for the Boeing 767 P2F program.
Track record
A greenfield start in 2012. It has since grown into a highly successful aerospace manufacturer.
The company now runs plants in several countries and is preparing to list on the Indian stock exchange.
A full production operation for complete tubing sets to Boeing standards, with full traceability and on-time delivery.
Floor layout, work instructions and procedures, procurement support and engineering services.
A greenfield line for a full 787 structural section, set up after an extensive training program at Boeing in the US.
Piping and nozzles for jet engines used as generators, kept running through the plant's handover from Rolls-Royce to Siemens.
We replaced Russian-standard wiring throughout, covering engineering, production and quality assurance.
A full-scale plant producing aluminum to the requirements of leading aircraft makers, with full traceability.
Our team is FAA-certified to engineer and manufacture the kits that turn passenger aircraft into freighters.
Process design, quality assurance and production support for a blanket department in a maintenance centre.
Other programs
The team
We want to share what we've learned over decades of making aircraft parts. The plan is to set up aerospace plants in many countries, build local industrial capability, and make those plants leaders in the global market.
