Last Tuesday, April 9, we held our General Assembly at Airbus Defence and Space Getafe. This year, the meeting was held in the new space facilities, and after the meeting we were able to enjoy a guided tour of the Airbus SPACE facilities, where different parts of the Ariane 6 structures are manufactured and assembled, as well as other load adapters for different rocket models.

Among the highlights of the day, it is worth highlighting the appointment of Guillermo Sagrario Rueda, HO Supply Management at AIRBUS DEFENCE & SPACE, as the new president of the association and Sergio Camps López, Director Supply Chain at ACITURRI, as secretary. Following the complete acquisition of Alestis Aerospace by Aciturri, the SPACE board of directors is renewed with one less executive member.

We were also able to welcome two new partners: SATLANTIS, a space technology company that provides very high-resolution satellite solutions for the observation of the Earth and the Universe, and FAYMASA, a precision engineering and machining company that offers optimal comprehensive solutions for any industrialization project.

We also took stock of the good training results and announced the incorporation of the mutualized projects into the activity of SPACE-Aero Spain, with which we seek to improve the industrial maturity of the Spanish supply chain in a more efficient and measurable way.

From SPACE-Aero Spain we thank all the partners who were able to accompany us and the entire AIRBUS team who made the development of the day possible. We take this opportunity to say goodbye and thank Teresa Escolano Montejo and Manuel Santaolalla-Diaz, who are leaving their representation on the board of directors after many years of dedication.

The SPACE Spain Association held its Ordinary General Assembly yesterday, February 8, 2023, at the AIRBUS Getafe facilities. An annual meeting with all members, which had not been held in person for three years.

After taking stock of recent years, reviewing the good results obtained in training, reflecting on how to approach continuous improvement projects and receiving feedback from members; we enjoyed a guided tour of two MRTT stations at the new Airbus facilities in Getafe.

This year, the work and dedication of three experts who have collaborated with SPACE for many years on numerous projects and training sessions has been recognized: Roberto Arenas from Airbus Operations, Antonio Álvarez-Rementeria from Alestis and Jose Luis López from Aciturri.

From SPACE Spain we thank all the members who accompanied us for their attendance and we thank our executive members, represented by Manuel Santaolalla and Guillermo Sagrario, for allowing us to host the event at their facilities.

On November 25th we were present at the 1st Machining Congress organized by ASPROMEC in Getafe.

Thanks to the organizers for inviting us to share the round table of the aeronautical sector with Sergio Camps López and Luis Pizarro Teno, with the assistance of some of our associates Inmapa Aeronautica and Grupo Hedisa.

Congratulations 👏ASPROMEC for your 10 years + 1 of activity!

The SPACE Spain Association held its annual Assembly yesterday, May 31, for the first time online due to the pandemic.

Among the most relevant points, the approval of the new Board of Directors stands out with Teresa Escolano Montejo, Director of Purchasing and Logistics at Alestis Aerospace, as President; Manuel Santaolalla-Diaz, HO Empennage, Fairings and Composite Detail Parts at Airbus, as Secretary; Jose Ignacio Ceballos Santamaría, Vice President of the Supply Chain at Aernnova, as Treasurer; as well as Sergio Camps López, Director of the Supply Chain at Aciturri, and Alberto Salguero Roche, HO Supply Management at Airbus Defence & Space, as Members.

During the Assembly, special emphasis was placed on the good results of the monthly training sessions organized by the association and which, since March of last year, have been carried out online. The association expressed its gratitude for the effort and the magnificent adaptation that the trainers, mainly experts from executive companies, are making; as well as the great demand that these training courses are having among the members.

As every year, the association has awarded the 'Best Improvement Award 2021' to the companies that have developed the best individual projects. On this occasion, the winners have been the Galician company Utingal, a specialist in the design and manufacture of tooling for the aeronautical sector, and the Seville-based Indaero Grupo Emergy, a company that stands out for its wide range of processes and its experience with soft materials such as plastics and textiles, as well as in the machining and transformation of metallic materials. With these awards, the SPACE España association recognizes their effort and the good results obtained.

We are pleased to inform you of the start of the work included in the Association's collective 4.0 project, aimed at facilitating the digital transformation of the companies that make up SPACE - Spain. The central objective pursued is to achieve a quantitative and qualitative leap in the digital strategy of all our associates.

The project, launched in collaboration with the external companies Sixphere Technologies and One Target Group, arises in response to the need to continue optimizing our supply chain as part of the constant search for competitive improvement that characterizes us.

The optimization process undertaken, born from the idea that only through local empowerment can a global benefit be achieved, involves facing a digitalization process that helps to determine specific objectives and needs and to put them in common with the needs of the sector, thus allowing future challenges to be faced with guarantees.

In its first stage, the project will consist of two different phases. A first self-assessment of the current digital status of each associate, using specialized platforms based on proven maturity models; and a second phase of evaluation and analysis through which, based on the information obtained from the previous phase and with the help of the team of external professionals, each partner will obtain an individualized, planned and prioritized digital roadmap based on their needs.

At SPACE - Spain we are committed to digital transformation as a decisive driver of competitive improvement in the supply chain, and it is precisely with this enthusiasm that we are facing this project.

The SPACE Spain Association held its annual Assembly on October 24, which this time took place at the Airbus San Pablo Training Centre (Seville).

Among the points discussed during the Assembly, it is worth highlighting the good results obtained in the training provided during 2019 and the new developments in this area for 2020, which have included training for the implementation of industry 4.0 and online courses.

On the other hand, the proposal to change the Statutes to articulate the integration of service companies and the participation of full members in the Boards of Directors has been approved.

This year, the SPACE Spain award has been given to Hauck Heat Treatment and UMEC, recognizing their effort and good results obtained in the individual projects developed in their facilities.

From SPACE Spain we would like to thank all members for their attendance and, in particular, our executive member Airbus D&S for hosting the Assembly at its facilities, putting the finishing touch to the day with a guided tour of the A400M FAL and LTA.

The Alava company, Metraltec, is committed to consolidating itself as a comprehensive Tier-1 aeronautical supplier. This strategy is materialised with the construction of a new 6800m² plant in the Betoño industrial estate and the renewal of a large part of the equipment.

R&D will focus on tackling the migration from manual methods to automatic and controlled procedures by incorporating industry 4.0 tools.

They will implement new special processes associated with programmes such as the A350, while studying the establishment of alliances with other national suppliers that allow them to offer complete solutions integrating other processes, thus strengthening their action in France and Germany.

On October 3rd, the annual meeting of the SPACE Spain association took place, with all its associated members, at the Airbus Illescas plant.

After taking stock of the year, the awards ceremony was held to recognize the great effort and good work carried out by MASA and Mecanizados Íñiguez in the execution of their projects, with both being awarded.

However, we must look to the future and in this case, specifically to the APQP Project, which has been selected as a collective project of the association, directing training towards the implementation of some of its tools and standardizing their use among all associated members.

Finally, we would like to thank all the members that make up this association that allow us to continue growing and strengthening the supply chain.
