Survival systems specialist Aero Sekur (Hall 1 F24) is highlighting major new contracts for the company’s floatation and external liferaft systems. The company is also opening a new repair and overhaul joint venture and it has increased its international presence and appointed a new COO, Marco Borghesi.

Business expansion includes the newly-formed joint venture HRD Aero Sekur for the repair and overhaul of commercial aircraft escape slides, slide rafts, liferafts, fire extinguishers and onboard oxygen systems. A recent order for emergency flotation and external liferaft systems for the AgustaWestland 189 will include the benefit of reduced costs for the equipment.

Aero Sekur recently opened an office in São Paulo, Brazil with plans drawn to develop a manufacturing facility for aerospace and defense products.
