Aircraft Hiroshima

Mobilizing Hiroshima’s manufacturing strength and competitive advantage, to an even higher level.

Located in Hiroshima Prefecture, AIRCRAFT HIROSHIMA (Hiroshima Aircraft Industry Promotion Association) was established for the purpose of building reliable supply chains in aerospace manufacturing, through inter-company partnerships as well as collaboration among industry, academia, and government. HIROSHIMA, a major region in Japan for all types of industrial machinery and equipment manufacturing, is home to numerous elite companies that actively work and engage with one another, further advancing their world class manufacturing capabilities.

AIRCRAFT HIROSHIMA is an elite group of Japanese manufacturers that have banded together for the sole purpose of vertical integration capability in the fiercely competitive aerospace sector. For every manufacturing process, AIRCRAFT HIROSHIMA built a customized Quality Management System (QMS) in full compliance with JISQ 9100 requirements.

As a cluster, we built a customized Quality Management System (QMS) for every manufacturing process, in full compliance with JISQ 9100 requirements.

Vertical integration capability through Nadcap and JISQ 9100 certified manufacturers.

All board members of AIRCRAFT HIROSHIMA are member companies that are certified suppliers of world class aircraft and engine manufacturers.
