On January 23, 2004, before numerous prominent national and
international guests from federal and provincial political
life, as well as from industry and the press, Christian Dries,
CEO of Diamond Aircraft Industries, opened the new Diamond
Composite production center in Wiener Neustadt, Heisenberg-Strasse
3-5.
The largest and most modern plant in Europe presently manufacturing
this class of aircraft of synthetic materials was erected
on an area of 10,900 square meters (117,000 square feet).
This building project was completed in a record time of only
7 months, from go-ahead to start of production, including
assembly of all machinery and systems.
Extremely high worldwide demand for the twin-engine four-seater,
the DA42 Twin Star, and the single-jet five-seat D-JET, which
is now under development, led the firm to construct new production
facilities and to expand these sectors of its operations to
meet the demand.
The aircraft parts produced here will move into the production
chain of the existing factory in Wiener Neustadt, Austria
and the branch works in Canada at London, Ontario, for final
assembly. The expansion of operations allows for a total production
capacity of up to 600 planes per year. In the medium to long
term, orders for development and production may also be undertaken
for promising applications of synthetic materials in fields
other than aircraft construction. At this time Diamond Aircraft
Industries has some 500 employees on its payroll worldwide,
and is continuing to strengthen its world market position
as a leader in general aviation.
