says it won 45 new customers and concluded more than 500 new contracts. The total sales volume in 2012 from those contracts alone amounted to 480 million euros Jansen said at the event.
Lufthansa Technik enjoys a solid market position, according to Henningsen. “We will continue our course for growth, and set ourselves apart in the market through our quality, the strength of our innovations and our worldwide presence. And this market position will be solidified and expanded even more through the successful implementation of the SCORE measures. That is why Lufthansa Technik will emerge from the consolidation in the airline and MRO markets even stronger than it is today.”
New Joint Venture Between LHT and McKinsey Announced Also announced at the event in Hamburg on March 19 is a joint venture with McKinsey & Company. Lufthansa Technik will now offer consulting services for the optimization of complex processes and the operative implementation of transformation programs within the framework of a new association with the consulting firm McKinsey & Company. The joint venture will be headquartered in Hamburg and is scheduled to begin its work during the first half of 2013 and will offer consultancy in the efficient design of complex processes in the maintenance and repair of aircraft for international customers in the airline industry and other sectors. Lufthansa Technik says it feels they can springboard their work in successfully structuring
processes in its own global network for maximum streamlining and efficiency, particularly through lean management projects to help others both in and outside of the aviation industry. The company says it has long supported several of its customers in improving their own production and service processes and is ready to parlay this knowledge to help others.
New Construction in Hamburg Additionally Lufthansa Technik announced that starting in February it began building work costing 20 million euros in the eastern section of the technical base to develop workshops, offices and facilities for the Central Materials Technology department. As a result, this high- tech area of the company will be concentrated in a single location. Construction work is expected to be completed in the spring of 2014. The new six-story complex will provide 6,000 square meters of workshop floor space on two levels, with the Central Materials Technology department on the second floor. The four floors above this, totaling 8,000 square meters of gross floor space, will be used for offices. The building will benefit from efficient insulation and the use of rainwater and parts of it will have a green roof. “With this new building, rather than going for expensive renovation work and retaining inefficient structures, we are investing on a sustainable basis and financing our future,” said Ralf Aljes, head of Facility Management at Lufthansa Technik. The building will use the existing plot ten times more intensively than the one- to two-story old buildings, which have already been demolished.
