This award from Airbus recognises AkzoNobel’s consistent focus over the past two years on delivering sustained performance against agreed Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), driving continuous improvement, and maintaining a proven customer-focused approach aligned with Airbus’s objectives and expectations.
AkzoNobel’s Aerospace Coatings business has recently received the highest supplier accolade in the Airbus Supply Chain & Quality Improvement Programme (SQIP). The team was awarded Accredited Supplier status in recognition of its dedication to continuous improvement within Airbus’s supply chain and quality initiatives.
“This is a fabulous achievement for the business and in particular our Quality team for improving the quality standards and responses to Airbus, to the Supply Chain team for implementing actions to further improve supply, and to our R&D and project management teams for their innovation in new product development and leading the projects to deliver even greater success,” has sated Alexia Apostolou, Airbus Key Account Manager at AkzoNobel Aerospace Coatings.
This distinction highlights the enhancements and process optimisations implemented across all AkzoNobel Aerospace sites and underscores the company’s ongoing efforts to minimise supply chain and manufacturing risks. AkzoNobel continues to make significant strides in the production, quality, and application of its aerospace coatings.
“To have these improvements validated and acknowledged by this award is testament to the commitment of Giuliana De Michele as the SQIP Leader, and the hard work and dedication of expert teams across all our sites. It also proves the benefit of our long-term collaboration with Airbus, and a company ethos that is founded on delivering value through partnerships,” has added Alexia Apostolou, Airbus Key Account Manager at AkzoNobel Aerospace Coatings.
