Diehl Aviation will establish new facility in Romania

Strategic location and competitive advantages

Romania was chosen for its strategic position between Eastern and Western Europe, providing excellent access to suppliers and skilled talent. As an EU member, Romania offers political and economic stability, seamless market integration and a highly skilled workforce. The country’s competitive operational costs, strong infrastructure and business-friendly environment further enhance its attractiveness.

Strengthening competitiveness and optimising cost structure

Beyond expanding production capacity, the new facility will optimise Diehl Aviation’s cost structure, enabling more competitive pricing and reinforcing its market position. Establishing a diversified production footprint in Romania enhances supply chain resilience and operational flexibility, ensuring sustained growth in the global aviation market. While production capacity will be expanded in Romania, the development, industrialisation and maturation of products will remain at Diehl Aviation’s German sites, ensuring continued technological leadership and innovation.

“Our new facility in Romania is a strategic investment in the future of Diehl Aviation,” said Jörg Schuler, CEO of Diehl Aviation. “As aircraft production rates increase, we are committed to providing our customers with the highest-quality products at competitive costs. Romania’s strong talent pool, modern infrastructure and business-friendly environment make it the perfect setting for this expansion.”

Diehl Aviation expects to break ground on the new facility in 2025, marking a significant step in the company’s continued growth and commitment to supporting the aviation industry with advanced manufacturing capabilities.
