Chengdu Ald Aviation Manufacturing

What Chengdu Ald Aviation Manufacturing does

Chengdu Ald Aviation Manufacturing Corporation (成都爱乐达航空制造股份有限公司) is a Chengdu-based, Shenzhen Stock Exchange GEM-listed (stock code 300696) precision aerospace parts manufacturer founded in 2004. The company provides full-process aviation manufacturing spanning CNC precision machining (3-axis, 5-axis, turning-milling, horizontal milling), NADCAP-certified special process treatments (chromium/cadmium/zinc-nickel plating, anodizing, painting, passivation, titanium alloy pickling, heat treatment, non-destructive testing), and component/sub-section assembly. It works with ultra-high strength steel, heat-resistant high-temperature alloys, titanium alloys, and aluminum alloys to produce aircraft structural parts, hydraulic/system parts, engine parts (fan cases, intermediate cases, combustion chamber outer duct cases), and aerospace large structural components. The company also designs and manufactures aviation ground support equipment including mission payload mounting vehicles, electromechanical simulators, and jacks.

The company serves major global aerospace primes including AVIC, COMAC (C919/C929/ARJ21), Airbus (A320/A350), Boeing (B737/B747-8/B767/B787-9), and Gulfstream Aerospace (G280). It operates four sites in Chengdu totaling over 120,000 square meters, employs nearly 1,000 people, and runs 280+ sets of manufacturing equipment across 10+ special process lines and 3 assembly lines. Key certifications include AS9100D, ISO 9001, and NADCAP for heat treatment, surface treatment, and NDT (passed 2018). The company holds 56 independent patents and operates a proprietary Production Advancement Management System for real-time scheduling across hundreds of active product lines, integrated with Infor-ERP since 2018.

The business model is B2B contract manufacturing on a quotation-based, multi-year pricing model negotiated directly with prime contractors and their tier-1 supply chain management. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time contract sales of manufactured parts and assemblies, plus professional services revenue from special process treatments provided to other suppliers in the aerospace chain. The company is currently deploying a 1.036 billion RMB Aviation Components Intelligent Manufacturing and System Integration Center, which will add capacity for 150,000 precision units/year, 500,000 special process units/year, 25,000 assembly sets/year, plus UAV manufacturing capacity. As a publicly listed entity on Shenzhen GEM, the company maintains active investor relations via mandatory disclosures, English/Chinese corporate website, and industry events (e.g., Zhuhai Airshow).
