The first project for this collaboration is a Gulfstream GIV interior conversion.

The skills and experience of 328 Design’s aircraft interior engineers will be utilised to certify the designs and materials selected by Turkish Technic engineering group through an STC issued by 328 Design’s sister company AMDS. The 328 group has a portfolio of over 200 STC’s (Supplementary TC’s) on aircraft types ranging from the Hawker 125 to Airbus A320, and helicopters such as the Agusta 109. 

328 Design managing director Ralf Kohlen said, “This is an exciting time for

our team and another important step to develop our business beside the Dornier 328.

“We are looking forward to working with Turkish Technic and know they have

considerable engineering potential that we hope to be working with on many projects for a long time.”

Turkish Technic ‘s VP Operations,   Can Sasmaz,   said, “We look forward to working with 328 Design GmbH for a mutual enhancement of both companies’ capabilities.”

Turkish Technic wants to develop its engineering skills and manufacturing

capabilities through its EASA approved design organisation. The company has already created a joint venture with Turkey’s aerospace manufacturing business TAI to begin working on cabin interiors and component manufacture in areas such as seats and panels.
