Aerospace

Vaupell has long been recognized as the world leader in the manufacture of appearance moldings and subassemblies for the commercial aerospace market. Our Northwest Molding facility, located in Seattle, has helped us become the first molder to test new aerospace grades of Polycarbonate, ULTEM^® and RADEL^® – in actual production conditions. Vaupell also is uniquely capable of processing high-heat, advanced polymers that meet the demanding environmental, dimensional and appearance requirements of global OEM and Tier 1 airplane manufacturers.

In recent years, Vaupell has developed mold designs and molding processes that produce ultra-thin parts in ULTEM, RADEL and PEEK. We are one of the very few molders to successfully mold PEEK parts with gas assist.

Vaupell is the leading global supplier to OEM and Tier 1 integrators of commercial aircraft interior assemblies.
