JAMCO Corporation has acquired a manufacturing facility for the assembly of primary aircraft seat components in Miyazaki City, Miyazaki Prefecture. On August 17, JAMCO was granted a Miyazaki Prefecture Company Certificate.
１．Plant Acquisition Purpose
JAMCO Corporation is currently developing and manufacturing “premium seats” for installation in both first and business class cabins on passenger aircraft. To support this endeavor, JAMCO has acquired a manufacturing facility located in the Hightech Land Owaki Industrial Park for the mass-assembly of aircraft parts which include the back shell and console (*1). The products produced at this facility will be sent to JAMCO AMERICA, INC in Seattle, Washington who is the contract holder for seat customers. After arrival, the seat parts will be integrated with the seat structural components and undergo final inspection before being delivered to the aircraft manufacturer.
Miyazaki JAMCO Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of JAMCO Corporation, will manage the manufacturing facility. Preparations are in progress for the planned commencement of this operation by December 2015.
