In aviation reliability and traceability are key aspects of quality

SNT-Group’s aviation textile manufacturing is based on the order-to-supply principle, where each product is manufactured according to the customer’s order and based on approved design data. Previously, the company only had a POA certificate for manufacturing, but now SNT-Group works closely with a design agency that has DOA approval.

“Due to the strict legislation in the aerospace industry, no manufacturing is possible without approved design data. Today we can offer our customers the complete package from design to manufacture and delivery,” says Elina Myllymäki, Quality Manager at SNT-Group.

Experienced and efficient aviation textile experts
The cornerstone of a high quality and reliable design and manufacturing process is close co-operation between the various parties involved.

“Our design process allows us to calculate precise delivery times, and our experience and refined manufacturing methods ensure that we can keep our promises,” assures Elina.

SNT-Group is the right size organisation to ensure agile and reliable process design and execution. Production and quality control work together seamlessly, enabling rapid information transfer between the different stages. 

“The ability to react quickly makes us flexible and efficient, which is a great advantage in our industry,” says Elina.

SNT Group’s process is smooth and scheduling is reliable. The operations are constantly evolving and experienced staff receive regular training.

“Our efficient and flexible operating model is a solid competitive advantage,” says Elina. “Our internal processes are fast and our professional staff ensures efficiency and reliability. They have the right attitude to deliver high quality processes. They know the exact requirements of the aviation industry and also understand the importance of documentation.”

Traceability guarantees quality
SNT Group manufactures a wide range of soft interior parts for aircraft in Tampere, Finland. The company’s long experience in the aviation industry ensures that the strict requirements are met at every stage. 

“Traceability is a key part of our production process and every product we manufacture can be traced back to the individual stitch. Operations are carefully monitored by the Finnish authorities and our customers. We closely follow EU directives and regulations and ensure that production, documentation and storage are carried out in accordance with them,” assures Elina. “We are a reliable and responsible partner that strictly follows the guidelines and requirements. Thanks to our low error rate, we can guarantee our customers exactly what we promise.”
