3 SFS intec headquarters in Heerbrugg (Switzerland) Milestones in corporate history For more than 50 years, the name of our company has stood for technical innovation, cost-effective solutions, and reliable partnerships Founding of SFS Presswerk Heerbrugg AG, a cold forming manufacturing company 1965 Commissioned by the Swiss Government for the manufacture of fasteners for the military aircraft Mirage 1976 Establishment of the first production site abroad in France 1987 Start of business in the aviation industry 2004 Acquisition of Schwarz Verbindungs-Systeme GmbH 2005 Acquisition of Europa Fasteners GmbH 2007 Merger of the two companies to form SFS intec GmbH Aircraft Components, which serves the Aerospace Industry from the site at Althengstett in Germany 3

4 International network as a factor for success Customer-focused service thanks to our comprehensive market presence Teamwork with a system The SFS intec site in Althengstett is the center of all our activities related to the Aviation Industry. Comprehensive consulting and services for our customers is carried out here. We use the technological and market capabilities of the whole SFS group as necessary to fulfill your service expectations. The result: Innovative fastening and assembly solutions that you can bring to bear in your development cycle. 4

5 The most up to date technology The exchange of knowledge within the SFS network ensures the continuous expansion of our expertise in the field of fastening and assembly technology. With SFS intec you always benefit from state of the art technology. At home in your business Our consultants have in-depth tech - nical and industry knowledge. They speak and understand the language of our customers - worldwide. SFS intec is certified according to EASA Part 21.G and 145. Consequently, we are familiar with aerospace specific processes and policies. Success throug our deep commitment Each employee contributes to product quality. A high level of personal responsibility, constant quality control of individual work, and the commitment to continuing improvement for new tasks are fundamental elements of our corporate culture. 5

6 Networked Services Added value through optimized processes Engineering Technologies Assembly Logistics Quality From concept to solution Complete customer satisfaction: this is what we seek to achieve. With that in mind, we deploy all of our resources toward meeting the requirements of our customers. As a general contractor we take responsibility for the entire product development process. By systematically linking all steps we keep all processes fast and lean. 6

7 Faster to market Understanding the needs of our customers is our central concern, starting right from the first phase of development. Intensive dialogue with your specialists is always a significant part of this successful process. Together we are able to create the basis for products which fulfill all expectations. Secure project management Our project managers are well-versed in all process steps. Any possible obstacles along the value chain are detected at an early stage and thus avoided in advance. All activities are carefully coordinated and will be carried out simultaneously whenever possible. This ensures an efficient implementation of the project. Sustainable data management With widespread and reliable IT sys tems, projects can be implemented easily and quickly. For this reason, we rely on powerful applications like SAP or Catia V5. This provides simple and secure data exchange and insures optimum quality in the project execution. 7

8 Goal-oriented engineering Short development cycles thanks to our technical knowledge and modern infrastructure Success through creativity and a systematic approach The development cycles in the aerospace industry have consistently been reduced in recent years. This increases the necessity for manufacturers and suppliers to work more closely, more quickly and more comprehensively together - and continue to think ahead. As an effective development partner, we ensure that ideas for new products quickly take concrete form. Our engineers and technicians are not only able to get things done now; they also bring fresh ideas and implement maximum flexibility. Even if conditions change rapidly. This ensures that the innovative solutions of today meet the needs of tomorrow. 8

9 Fast assembly Rapid technological development in the aviation industry requires efficient fastening and assembly solutions. Most of our products contribute to ensure an efficient assembly and disassembly. The use of tools is minimized and handling is improved. Weight reduction Weight is of central importance in the aircraft industry. The goal of reducing weight is one that is achieved through creative and systematic thinking. That is why we continuously review part geometry, manu facturing processes and material selection. We make it easier to fly light - in the truest sense of the word. Costs saving We use all synergies in order to accelerate development and to reduce costs. Wherever possible, we focus on the benefits of modularisation. This enables the universal use of individual components and avoids unnecessary costs. 9

10 Powerful technologies Ready-to-install solutions from a single source Cold and hot forming Deep drawing Plastic injection moulding Mechanical fastening technology Blind rivet technology Unique technological diversity The fast and secure implementation of newly-designed products as well as economical, high-quality mass production: these are the criteria against which we measure ourselves. The direct access to the diverse manufacturing technologies of SFS intec is key to provide significant added value. In addition to our own manufacturing know-how we have access to an established network of trusted partners who meet our high quality standards. Therefore there are no obstacles in the way to develop challenging products. This results in the highest levels of flexibility for our customers. 10

11 Assemblies with style Our business is not only the mastery of specific technologies but also the effective combination of them. Indeed it is through the creative combination of materials and processes that often astonishingly effective solutions can be found. Manual assembly Small production series cannot be manufactured under the same conditions as large production runs. We have established conditions that enable us to economically manufacture smaller production series of high quality. Automated assembly Advanced production equipment and mature work processes ensure industrial mass production of the highest order. Sophisticated components can thereby be efficiently produced in large numbers. 11

12 Efficient inventory management systems More customer convenience with high-performance logistics Perfect logistics solutions Our partners demand more than superior product quality. After all, what good is a perfect product that is not delivered on time? We provide innovative logistics solutions and optimal transport processes, to ensure best supply guarantee. The latest logistics technologies and IT systems ensure consistent on-time delivery and flexibility to meet diverse customer requirements. 12

13 Modern logistics systems With innovative solutions to the customized needs of each user, we provide concepts to manage product supplies, thereby reducing logistics expenses. The implementation of our logistics solutions, with lower inventories, short lead times and high product availability, increases value for you. Delivered ready for assembly Tremendous benefits can be realized with our individual packaging solutions. Parts handling is simplified and the likelihood of mix-ups is minimized. We pack your assembly and fastening elements in customer-specific containers as an integral part of our service. Extensive product availability The reliable availability of parts is our hallmark. You can always count on short delivery times with SFS intec. This reduces the administrative and storage costs of our customers and provides efficient and cost-effective management of goods. 13

14 Extensive application expertise For each situation, the best solution Structure Wings Cabin Doors and Hatches Special Applications Extensive product range As a partner in the aviation industry, we offer both custom solutions and a broad range of standard parts.
