Nordam Adds New Product to its Airbus Portfolio
Airbus has awarded Nordam a contract to manufacture a part that supports the A350-1000’s cargo floor.

Airbus has awarded Tulsa, Oklahoma-based aerospace supplier Nordam a contract to manufacture a lightweight composite part that supports the A350-1000’s cargo floor. The new contract represents Nordam’s first provision of a structural component for Airbus.

Nordam’s Interiors & Structures Division fabricates the part—known as a “crutch”—for HexMC, a proprietary Hexcel product that transforms AS4 carbon fiber strips into a randomly oriented mat that can be cut and compression-molded into complex geometries. Nordam is one of only two licensed molders of the material in the world.
