Megadoor has entered into an agreement to supply hangar doors for maintenance hangars in Abu Dhabi. The order, which is worth SEK 38 million, is Megadoor’s largest ever order from the aircraft industry. The doors will be delivered in 2010.
Megadoor sells doors up to 150 meters in width to airports, shipyards and the mining industry worldwide. The doors are vertical lifting and using translucent fabric material and will be supplied for maintenance hangars for aircraft of the Airbus A380 type. The Airbus A380 is the largest passenger aircraft in the world and with its two complete passenger decks carries up to 525 passengers. The design of the doors cuts the customer’s operating costs and also helps to improve the hangar environment by reducing the amount of dust that finds its way into the building.
Delivery will occur in three phases with a first installation in February 2010. The final delivery will occur in mid-2010.
“Megadoor is an exciting product area with many different applications. We have a flexible product that can be installed in an existing building without major reconstruction. Winning our largest ever order from the aircraft industry in times like these is real evidence of the strength of our offering,” says Ove Bergkvist, President, Crawford Group.
