AAT Composites

AAT Composites operates as a specialist manufacturer within the global aerospace supply chain, focusing on the production of advanced composite components and sub-assemblies. The firm occupies a position as a Tier 1 and Tier 2 supplier, providing interior and structural elements that require high strength-to-weight ratios and stringent fire, smoke, and toxicity compliance. Its operations encompass the full lifecycle of composite production, from tool design and material layup to final finishing and assembly. The organisation is a long-standing supplier to major international seating manufacturers and airframe integrators. Its portfolio includes components for commercial aircraft cabin interiors, such as seat shells, armrests, and footrests for premium cabin classes. Notable associations include the supply of parts for Recaro Aircraft Seating and various programmes under the Airbus and Boeing portfolios. The company also maintains a presence in the automotive and high-performance engineering sectors where carbon fibre expertise is required. Prospective partners should verify the specific certifications held by the South African facility, including AS9100 Rev D and ISO 9001 standards. Buyers should assess the firm's specific capacity for high-volume thermoplastic versus thermoset production and confirm their logistics arrangements for international delivery. It is also advisable to review their capability for integrated assembly versus standalone component supply to ensure alignment with project requirements.
