New Qualifications on A330 and A340 Aircraft
- 6 February 2002

Makes M.C. Gill Only U.S. Supplier Qualified to Provide All Airbus Model Passenger Flooring and Cargo Liner Panels
El Monte, California - 6 February 2002 - M.C Gill Corporation announced qualification of Gillfab 4422 for the manufacture of decompression panels used in A330/A340 aircraft. M.C. Gill had previously qualified Gillfab 4422, Gillfab 3072 and Gillfab 1367A, in June 2000, for use as cargo liner and decompression panels for all Airbus aircraft except the A330/340 decompression panel.
This most recent qualification involved testing a stepped panel with filler, a configuration that is unique to A330/A340 models which do not use the traditional 'h' profile frame design. This qualification was the last needed to allow M.C. Gill to supply the full line of Airbus panels.
"There is only one U.S. company with qualifications on all Airbus flooring and cargo liner, including walls and ceilings. That is M.C. Gill Corporation," Candi Burdick, Marketing Manager at M.C. Gill Corporation said.
"This latest qualification allows us to offer a complete product line and makes it clear to Airbus, and the airlines operating Airbus airplanes, that M.C. Gill is committed to growing as a valued OEM supplier. It also makes us able to quickly respond to spares orders," Burdick explained.
Gillfab 4422 panels can be supplied to customers in either finished or semi-finished condition per customer specification, or as raw stock to be finished by the end user. They come in nine thicknesses to meet a variety of applications.
Contact M.C. Gill Corporation for technical support, ordering or other assistance.
