What Aircraft Cabin Modification does

Aircraft Cabin Modification GmbH (ACM Aerospace) is a privately held German aerospace company operating across the aircraft cabin interior value chain. Its product portfolio spans safety restraint systems (seat belts and cargo nets for pilots, crew, and passengers), soft furnishings (curtains, seat covers, cushions, and seating components), fiber-reinforced composite components and panels, cabin flooring, leather, textiles and foams, and complete crew rest compartments. Services include ULD container assembly, repair and logistics, seat belt repair and re-webbing, full cabin interior refurbishment, dry cleaning and re-certification, DOA (Design Organisation Approval) engineering services, and executive jet refurbishment. The company operates as a vertically integrated cabin supplier under EASA Part 145 (maintenance), Part 21G (production), and Part 21J (design) approvals, and holds ISO 9100, 9110, and 9001 certifications from TÜV Rheinland.

The customer base spans commercial airlines (Lufthansa, Scandinavian Airlines, Swiss International Air Lines, Eurowings, Germanwings, Emirates, Ethiopian Airlines, British Airways, Air Europa, Jet2.com, Austrian Airlines), aircraft and seating OEMs (Airbus, Pilatus Aircraft, Diamond Aircraft, RECARO Aircraft Seating, DIEHL Aircabin, FACC, Elbe Flugzeugwerke, ZIM Flugsitze), and operators of executive and helicopter platforms. ACM sells exclusively through direct enterprise sales, with pricing conducted on a quote, multi-year-contract basis. Following the 2025 expansion, the company operates from a headquarters relocated to Hamburg (Germany), with regional offices in Switzerland and Dubai (ACM Aerospace LLC, established January 2025). Recent product initiatives include senseRest, an aviation-certified mattress designed to retrofit onto premium cabin seats for in-flight wellbeing, and a dedicated re-webbing service that positions ACM as the only independent provider of pilot restraint rewebbing in Europe.
