Specialised Sheet Metal Components
manufactured by ERKO

Did you know that ERKO, apart from manufacturing tools, terminals and machines, is also engaged in the production of sheet metal components manufactured through cold forming?

Our manufacturing division called ERKO AERO is responsible for production of tailor-made overly complex quality components, which vary from simple bent metal sheets to complex extruded shapes.

Individually tailored design

A team of designers and technologists who are able to implement a project in line with customer expectations.

Guarantee of quality

Owing to a modern machine park and many years of experience in production of elements in a highly specialised and demanding aviation industry, we are able to guarantee the above-market quality.

Production capacity

Over the years, ERKO has produced millions of pieces of aviation details, implemented several hundred different indexes of such details, each time maintaining quality standards, as evidenced by many years of cooperation and references.

Why ERKO?

40 years of experience

ERKO has been on the market for over 40 years, and it has worked with the aviation industry for 17 years. Now it employs approx. 300 employees, including many specialised engineers and constructors. It is thanks to them that our teams design and create all tooling for production of sheet metal parts.

Owing to our knowledge and experience, we are able to prepare a project with the highest accuracy. We consult the project with the client at every stage of work, introduce changes on an ongoing basis, and propose individual solutions tailored to the client’s needs. We do it all to make sure that it meets customer’s demands prior to launch of manufacturing, during the process, and finally, when it comes to the final product. Trust us and trust the quality of ERKO.

ERKO technology

Cutting-edge equipment

In our projects, we use cold forming technology that enables shaping of materials with use of mechanical and hydraulic presses. It is an important part of plastic sheet metal processing with the use of press-forming dies, which are dedicated tools, often of complex shapes, the parameters of which are matched to the thickness and stress condition of the metal sheet.

An important aspect is the fact that we design these press-forming dies ourselves, including multi-stroke dies, blanking dies, measuring and welding equipment, all of which can be adapted for automation and robotisation. These tools are thoroughly tested, so that the quality of products is always at the highest possible level. We have presses with working surface with dimensions of 600 mm x 1000 mm and tonnage up to 230 tonnes. Owing to these tools, we are able to implement numerous projects regardless of their scale or weight.

CERTIFICATION

We constantly strive to improve the qualifications of our employees so that they can perform their work at the highest level. The equipment used for this purpose is among the most advanced in the aerospace industry. The quality and safety of the entire production process is confirmed by the AS9100 and ISO 9001 certificates. Our professionalism is also confirmed by the fact that we received the license of the Ministry of Interior and Administration for production for the military industry.

Portfolio of ERKO

Today, we are proud of cooperation with our key partners, including GE Aviation and Pratt & Whitney. These are the leading manufacturers of aircraft engines, and they supply them to such giants as Boeing or Airbus. Our factories produce components for engines used around the world in various variants to power many popular commercial aircraft. Our cooperation with GE Aviation, a world leader in production of engines for the civil and military markets, is developing very dynamically! We already produce machine and sheet metal elements of remarkably high quality, which can be found, among others in the engines from GEnx generation. These engines propel, among others, Boeing 787 Dreamliner.
