Strata Manufacturing Reports 38% Growth In Aircraft Components Production And Exports For 2024

Strata Manufacturing PJSC, a subsidiary of Mubadala Investment Company, has announced significant achievements for 2024. The UAE-based advanced manufacturing leader reported a 38% rise in aircraft components produced and exported to global aerospace partners like Airbus, Boeing, Pilatus, and Leonardo compared to 2023. In 2024, Strata manufactured and delivered 11,774 aero-structure components, up from 8,530 in the previous year. All deliveries met quality standards and were on time.

Over its 15-year history, Strata has shipped 97,485 aero-structure components for wide-body aircraft. Ismail Ali Abdulla, Managing Director of Strata, highlighted the company's role as a national pride symbol. "Strata embodies the UAE’s ability to lead in advanced manufacturing on a global stage. These remarkable achievements testament to our dedication to innovation, quality, and the strategic global partnerships that drive excellence."

In December 2024, Strata completed the IUP radar antenna panel project with Thales. This marked a major milestone after successful manufacturing and factory acceptance testing. Initiated in 2023, this project underscores Strata's engineering prowess and represents its first fully designed metallic airframe product.

Strata expanded beyond aerospace by forming innovative partnerships in new sectors. Collaborating with UAE-based SWS Board Technology, Strata repurposed aerospace materials for high-performance sports products. This move highlights its commitment to sustainability. Additionally, Strata entered the marine sports sector by partnering with SailGP to manufacture components for high-speed F50 catamarans.

Working with the Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Centre, Strata contributed significantly to the "Mohammed Bin Zayed Sat" satellite's manufacturing components. It produced mechanical parts and flat panels equipped with high-grade aluminium designed for extreme space conditions. This satellite is now orbiting Earth as the region's most advanced satellite.

Strata's advanced manufacturing capabilities consistently meet stringent client standards globally. It produces critical aerospace components such as Airbus A330 Flap Track Fairings and Boeing 787 Vertical Fin Ribs. Other products include Pilatus PC-24 Flap Track Fairings and Leonardo ATR Vertical Fins.
