CORONA, CA--(Marketwire - November 30, 2009) - The CIRCOR Aerospace Products Group, a business
unit of CIRCOR International (NYSE : CIR ), has been selected by SAFRAN /
Messier-Bugatti to design, develop, and manufacture a complete suite of
hydraulic valves for the main and nose landing gear hydraulic system of the
Airbus A350 XWB. These new, integrated fluid control solutions include
valve assemblies for the main and nose landing gear and three additional
valve manifolds for the braking system.
CIRCOR Aerospace will develop these integrated hydraulic controls using its
global engineering resources and perform final assembly and testing at its
Paris, France and Corona, California facilities, with support from our
Tangier, Morocco ATLAS Productions subsidiary. CIRCOR Aerospace was
previously awarded the design and development contract for the A350 XWB
landing gear door actuators. With the combined awards, CIRCOR Aerospace
emerges as a major landing gear system partner to Messier-Bugatti on the
A350 XWB program.
"CIRCOR Aerospace is proud to be a key partner to Messier-Bugatti on the
Airbus A350 XWB. This program award confirms CIRCOR Aerospace's capability
as a sub-system partner and validates our long term strategy to deploy the
right engineering and technology, lean manufacturing and integrated project
team capabilities to meet critical aircraft systems requirements," said
Christopher Celtruda, Group Vice President for CIRCOR Aerospace.
