Airbus SE is a European multinational aerospace company that designs, manufactures, and supports commercial aircraft, helicopters, and defense and space systems. Registered in the Netherlands, the company operates major engineering and production centers across France, Germany, Spain, and the UK, with a global network of assembly and support facilities serving airlines, governments, and operators worldwide.
For the chemical industry, Airbus is a key end market and innovation partner, relying on advanced materials, composites, high-performance metals, adhesives, sealants, coatings, and surface treatments that meet stringent aerospace certification and durability standards. Its programs drive demand for corrosion protection, bonding technologies, lightweighting materials, and process chemicals used in manufacturing, maintenance, and overhaul. Airbus also collaborates across its supply chain on sustainability, including energy efficiency in industrial operations and the development of lower-carbon aviation solutions such as sustainable aviation fuel compatibility and next-generation propulsion research, aligning materials and processes with safety, reliability, and lifecycle performance requirements.
