Jihostroj

Jihostroj a.s. is a Czech manufacturer specialising in the design and production of aerospace fuel control systems and hydraulic components. Situated as a Tier 2 or Tier 3 supplier within the global supply chain, the company focuses on high-precision mechanical engineering for aircraft propulsion and fluid management. Its core output includes fuel pumps, governors, and actuators for both turboprop and piston engine applications. The organisation maintains long-standing relationships with significant domestic and international partners, notably supplying fuel control units and pumps for GE Aerospace (formerly GE Aviation Czech) engines, specifically for the H-Series and M601 turboprops. It also provides equipment for various light and utility aircraft programmes. The company operates within a cluster of Central European aerospace manufacturers, frequently collaborating with engine OEMs and airframe integrators on subsystem development. Prospective buyers or partners should verify the specific certification status of individual components for their intended market, particularly EASA or FAA Part 21 and Part 145 approvals. It is essential to confirm the current production capacity for bespoke hydraulic solutions and the technical compatibility of their fuel governors with specific engine models. Evaluation of their quality management systems against AS9100 standards is recommended for all new procurement contracts.
