Liebherr Aerospace’s Chinese subsidiary Liebherr LAMC Aviation at Changsha in Hunan province last month received AS9100C quality management certification. The approval is an important step in its efforts to design and building landing gear for Chinese aircraft program’s such as Comac’s new C919 narrowbody. It also covers raw materials, components and equipment import and export services provided by the company.
  
Liebherr LAMC Aviation was founded by the Europe-based aircraft systems group Leibherr and its Chinese joint venture partner Landing-gear Advanced Manufacturing. Liebherr (Hall 4 Stand B100) already has four production plants in Germany, France, Brazil and Russia.
