Comlux is seeing its order book swell with nine new contracts for major completion projects in the past 12 months alone. These projects involve three interiors for the new Airbus ACJ TwoTwenty, three ACJ320neo VIP interiors, and three maintenance and cabin upgrades, the company announced during the 2024 edition of NBAA-BACE
The Swiss-based company will complete the projects at its Comlux Completion facility in Indianapolis. Comlux CEO Adam White called the growth a testament to its long-term expansion strategy.
"We are very excited that the customer base is responding so positively to our strategy,”&nbsp; White&nbsp;said.&nbsp;“Sales happen quickly after years are spent developing the infrastructure, tools, and most importantly the people to ensure we keep customer satisfaction at the forefront. This reflects the hard work done by everyone to execute the vision needed to take Comlux to the next level.”
Comlux continues to keep an eye on the future, including what futuristic tech modern customers are craving in their aircraft.
“Open and airy layouts with multifunction use areas are still a frequent request,” Zuzana Pindurova,&nbsp;director of public relations at Comlux, told AIN. “We are seeing a lot more requests for advanced technology, including inductive charges, electrochromic windows, [and] enhanced streaming capabilities.”
There’s also an increase for sustainable green products in completions work, a trend that has gained popularity within the market over the last several years—with increasing buzz around sustainable products coming into the spotlight this year.
“We are seeing more and more requests for reconstituted veneers. A lot of materials we already use are green/sustainable, including natural fibers in fabrics and carpets,” she said. “The majority of our aviation vendors are incorporating sustainable options into their standard offerings. This will make it much easier to incorporate sustainability into our interiors.”
Customers are also invested in getting more creative with their interiors.
“One of the most unique things we’ve been asked to do is hologram artwork to make it look like items were floating in space,” she said. “This plays into the advanced technology and futurist requests we have been seeing.”
