ZIM Aircraft Seating Group at AIX 2024: first joint appearance after the merger

AIX, Hamburg, May 28, 2024 – Eight months after the acquisition of HAECO Cabin Solutions, ZIM Aircraft Seating Group is presenting itself at the Aircraft Interiors Expo (AIX) with a joint trade-show presence for the first time. The focus is on the status of integration, the first jointly executed orders and the new slogan “Passion and Performance”.

One stand, one portfolio

For customers, AIX is the first occasion to experience the group as a single company. Economy and Premium Economy seats are shown together, contacts from both sites are on hand, and proposals are prepared across the entire portfolio from a single source. The renaming of the US site from HAECO Cabin Solutions to ZIM Aircraft Cabin Solutions has been completed by this point. The group's common umbrella brand will in future be ZIM Aircraft Seating Group.

Integration, visible in projects

At the show, the status of integration is not an abstract topic but can be read off real projects: the first orders are already being executed across sites, engineering and certification capacity in Germany and the USA is being planned jointly, and customers access both product lines through a single sales organization.

“Passion and Performance”

The new joint slogan names what unites both companies: technical passion for the product and a commitment to delivery and certification reliability. It applies group-wide from AIX 2024.
