Contract manufacturing · ATA 25 interiors & ATA 32 brake heat sinks

We don’t sell parts. We build them for the people who hold the certificate.

Seat components, galley hardware, interior panels and brake heat sink discs — built in China for approval holders, with carbon discs handed over at the process stage you name. You keep the certificate, the design authority and the release signature. We keep the process cards, the first article and the traceability file.

Manufacturing is carried out at qualified partner facilities. AeromatMall holds no Parts Manufacturer Approval and signs no airworthiness release document.

Scope of work

Two business domains, one rule about who signs

We take on work in two areas and say no outside them. The boundary is not modesty — it is what makes a first article predictable and a traceability file auditable.

ATA 25 · Cabin interiors

Seat components, galley and lavatory hardware, interior panels and liners — the three cabin families, built to your drawing, with flammability evidence, weight discipline and repairability treated as design decisions rather than manufacturing conveniences.

All five part families →

ATA 32 · Brake heat sinks and wheel parts

Carbon discs can be handed over at the process stage you specify — at agreed density, machined, treated, or as a riveted stack — together with the metallic hardware used in riveting. Steel rotor discs, friction pads, disc cores and brake and wheel accessories are produced to your requirements.

How stage delivery works →

In both domains the work is carried out at qualified partner facilities, output belongs to the programme that ordered it, and the release is signed under your approval. Stage names and delivered forms are published; process parameters are not.

Why an approval holder comes here instead of another trader

Three things a certificate holder is actually short of, and none of them is a price list.

01 / Capacity

A line reserved for your part number

A holder does not need one more trader ringing the same three shops for a price. It needs capacity committed to its part number, with a named process owner, a fixed routing and someone who answers when the second batch is late.

02 / First article

A first article built to be accepted

The first article is not a sample sent for approval. It is a dimensional, material and process record in AS9102 format, submitted with the parts. We plan the inspection before the first chip is cut, not after.

03 / Records

A file that still answers in two years

Heat and lot numbers, material certificates, process traveller with operator sign-off, serial numbers on the parts and on the paperwork. When an auditor pulls one unit out of a fleet two years from now, the file has to close.

The question that decides whether a programme is worth starting

Not the price. Not the lead time. Whether the part can be installed on a registration you can sell into.

Every holder has had the same conversation: the parts are built, the paperwork arrives, and then someone asks which authority will accept the release document on the aircraft that is actually flying. That question is answerable before a purchase order exists — but only if somebody reads the acceptance position properly.

We issue a release path determination in writing. Four inputs go in: the part number, the aircraft type, the State of Registry and the approval you hold. Three lines come out: whether the part is installable, whose approval it hangs on, and which release document will travel with it.

It is free, it takes one exchange, and it is the reason most of our conversations start with a part number and no purchase order.

How the determination works

What decides the answer
FactorWhy it decides
State of RegistryAcceptance of a foreign release document is set by the importing authority, not by the manufacturer.
Approval basisA part built under your approval is released under your approval. Ours is not a substitute for it.
Design authoritySome builds need the TC or STC holder’s written consent before they are launchable at all.
Release documentThe tag has to match what the receiving authority accepts for that registration.

What we don’t do

Written down because the boundary is the useful part of the offer.

  • We don’t hold your certificate.
  • We don’t sell finished parts, from stock or otherwise.
  • We don’t keep inventory, and we don’t run an exchange pool.
  • We don’t sign a release document on your behalf.
  • We don’t claim that any part we make fits every registration.
  • We don’t quote a delivery date before the first article plan is agreed.

If it can’t be installed on your registration, we’ll tell you before you order.

Suppliers who say yes to everything are cheap to find. The reason to talk to us is that we will write down a no, with the reason, in the first reply.

What travels with the shipment

The parts are half the delivery. This is the other half, and it is the half that gets audited.

  • Certificate of conformity against the drawing revision actually used
  • First article inspection report in AS9102 format, with the ballooned drawing
  • Material certificates, with heat, lot and mill traceability
  • Process traveller signed at each operation, by the operator who ran it
  • Nonconformance and concession record, including what was accepted and why
  • Packing list keyed to your purchase order and to the serial numbers shipped

How the records are produced and kept →

Three ways a programme starts

Which one applies depends on what exists today: a drawing, a set of tooling, or nothing but a sample.

Route A

Build to print

You hold the drawing and the approval. We manufacture to your data, return the production records, and you sign the release. The cleanest responsibility split there is.

What the split looks like →

Route B

Tooling transfer

A part already runs somewhere else and you want a second source, or a shop is closing. We audit the tooling, requalify it, and run a fresh first article before a single production unit ships.

How a transfer is run →

Route C

New part introduction

A sample or an OEM reference part exists and no drawing of yours does yet. Engineering and process development come from the manufacturing side; design compliance and approval data stay with you.

Where the boundary sits →

Two programmes, written down without the names

What a build programme still looks like once the customer, the part numbers and the process parameters are taken out.

Case note 01 · ATA 32

A handover point named in the brief

Carbon discs stopped at the process stage a holder specified, with the riveting hardware and a record set complete at that boundary. No finished part, no release tag and no published parameters.

Read the note →

Case note 02 · ATA 25 + ATA 32

Two families kept on one routing

Cabin interior details and wheel and brake components ran under one revision state, one first article plan and one traceability file across different workshops.

Why these notes are anonymised, and what is deliberately withheld →

The one-sentence version

Your certificate, your release documents, our production discipline.

A written answer within two working days is the only turnaround we publish. Everything else — tooling, first article, batch quantities, delivery — is quoted per programme, because a number given before the routing exists is a number somebody made up.

How an enquiry turns into a shipment

Tell us what you are building. We will tell you what it takes.

Send a drawing status, a part family and a state of registry. If the release path does not work, you will hear that in the first reply — not after the tooling is cut.
