Zitat:Aerospace industry scrambles to deal with fallout from huge US factory fire [...]https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospa...025-02-27/
Boeing and other top aerospace firms are scouring their supply chains to determine their exposure to a major fire last week at a Philadelphia-area parts factory that has set off alarm bells across the industry, people familiar with the matter said.
The days-long fire at SPS Technologies' century-old factory could put pressure on the industry's already strapped supply chain. GE Aerospace and others are now trying to figure out who can replace the factory's lost production and also identify who has spare parts, the people said. Both Boeing and France's Safran contacted suppliers asking about the potential effects, according to letters seen by Reuters. [...]
The fire, which caused no fatalities, is the latest in a string of supply setbacks in aerospace. This stadium-sized facility was crucial to the production of key parts, and some analysts warned that its loss could further strain the industry's ability to boost output. SPS products include titanium fasteners of the kind used to assemble carbon-fiber jets like the Boeing 787 and Airbus A350. [...] A Boeing spokesperson said it is "working with suppliers to assess impacts and ... taking steps to manage any impacts.” CEO Kelly Ortberg said last week in brief comments that he expected some disruption from the fire.
French engine and landing gear maker Safran also contacted suppliers to see if they purchase directly from SPS, according to letters seen by Reuters and two suppliers.
