KP Aerospace Industries, which directly manufactures and supplies over 3,000 parts to Boeing, Airbus, and KAI, is recognized for its 34-year history and technological prowess. It is recognized as a hidden powerhouse in the Korean aerospace industry, a global powerhouse contributing to the development of the country's aerospace industry.

KP AERO INDUSTRIES CO., LTD., which our newspaper recently visited, is a global powerhouse with a history and technological prowess in the aircraft parts field, having been manufacturing tools for 34 years since its establishment in 1990, processing aircraft parts for 28 years, and assembling aircraft parts for 24 years.


Its main business includes aircraft parts processing and production, airframe assembly, tool design and manufacturing, and various jig manufacturing and installation. Based on its management commitment to improving productivity and employee well-being, the company has grown into a strong and competitive company even in times of crisis.

We are also establishing ourselves as a company that strives to meet everyone's needs by collecting opinions from customers and partners.
/> KP Aerospace Industries handles all areas of aircraft parts and tools, from design and processing to assembly and delivery, and operates a real-time production information management system that integrates ICT, ensuring its competitiveness.

In addition, we operate high-speed precision processing equipment that can be converted to automatic pallets, as well as precision processing equipment for large aircraft parts, defense parts, and satellite parts, and we have the technology to produce large molds (over 20 m) with a tolerance of within 0.1 mm.

In addition, productivity has been improved by 30% through the FMS (Flexible Manufacturing System) LINE, and the company operates the longest CMM inspection equipment and quality management system in the country.

As for aviation products, we produce and supply approximately 3,000 types of parts, including Boeing's B737, B747, B767, B777, and B787 series, Airbus's A320 and A350 series, KAI's T-50, KT-1, and KUH, and KAL's EMB/UAV.

In the defense sector, we produce a large number of Korean launch vehicle parts and tools, and guided weapon molding tools.

If the government's recently announced aviation industry development policies are implemented smoothly, the Korean aviation industry is expected to not only enter the Global 7 by the 2030s, but also grow into a new leading industry.

The global aviation industry market, post-COVID-19, is projected to grow to approximately USD 946.2 billion by 2030, driven by the civil aircraft, UAM, and MRO markets. This presents an opportunity to fully leverage Korea's strengths.

Based on this outlook, KP Aerospace Industries has accumulated exclusive technologies through automated equipment configuration, large assembly production technology, and many years of experience in the production and assembly of molds and parts for satellite launch vehicles and large guided weapons.

Even amidst the COVID-19 situation, we are expanding direct transactions with overseas customers and aiming for 2021.In the quarter, we secured a contract worth 30 billion won over five years from an overseas client.

A KP Aerospace Industry official said, “The aircraft manufacturing industry is characterized by high-variety, low-volume production, and it is difficult for small and medium-sized enterprises to obtain all design certifications and manufacturing process certifications. However, KP Aerospace Industry is investing large amounts of capital and manpower to take charge of the system and overall assembly, and is focusing on some processes such as parts processing, small assembly, and post-processing.” He added, “We ask for your interest and support for KP Aerospace Industry for the development of the Korean aviation industry.”
