Contract Manufacturing for Aerospace
Precision milled and turned parts, structural parts and fixtures with complete documentation
In aerospace, components must be lightweight, accurate and fully traceable. MWA – Mechanische Werkstätten Anhalt GmbH in Halberstadt manufactures precision milled and turned parts, structural parts and fixtures to drawing.
Our quality management is based on standards including EN 9100, the quality standard for aerospace, and EN 9120. On request, we procure materials with a material certificate according to EN 10204.

Which parts do we manufacture for aerospace?
- Precision milled parts with pockets, thin walls and hole patterns
- Turned parts such as bushings, pins, rings and flanges
- Structural parts and holders made of aluminium and titanium
- Fixtures, assembly and inspection jigs for production
- Ground support equipment and production equipment
Many of these parts have features on several sides. 5-axis milling produces them in just a few setups and keeps the features accurately positioned relative to each other.
What does EN 9100 mean?
EN 9100 is the quality management standard of the aerospace industry. It builds on ISO 9001 and adds requirements for configuration management, first article inspection, product safety, prevention of counterfeit parts and traceability, among others.
EN 9120 is the corresponding standard for distributors and stockists. Our quality management is based on ISO 9001, EN 9100, EN 9120 and ISO 14001.
Which materials are typical?
Typical materials are high-strength aluminium alloys, titanium, and stainless and high-strength steels. Steel and aluminium are used for fixtures. The material is procured with a certificate so that its origin and properties can be verified.
More on the page Materials in CNC contract manufacturing and in the guide Material certificate according to EN 10204.
What is a first article inspection?
In a first article inspection, the first part of an order is fully inspected against the drawing and specification. The result is recorded in the first article inspection report, in aviation often according to the requirements of EN 9102. Further production only proceeds after approval.
A first article inspection report and a measurement report are available on request.
Why is traceability so important?
In aerospace, it must be possible to prove for every part which material it is made of and how it was manufactured and inspected. That is why the material certificate, operations and inspection results are clearly assigned to the order.
How do you get a quotation?
Send us your drawing or 3D model, material specification, quantity and the required documentation via the Contact page. We check feasibility free of charge and prepare a non-binding quotation. On request, we sign a non-disclosure agreement in advance.
