Accelerator of innovation
SAM|XL envisions speeding up towards a climate neutral society through collaboration and innovation for product development and manufacturing within Europe.
Having 'aerospace' in our DNA, we understand as no other that the unimaginable can be achieved when man and machine collaborate to push boundaries. We strive to maximize the synergy between skilled professionals and intelligent manufacturing systems for producing, joining and inspecting composite and light-metal structures. Our pragmatic approach to achieve this long-term ambition: small steps, big impact.
