Airbus has chosen its best suppliers at the SQIP supplier day and has honored Mankiewicz again with its highest supplier trophy in 2024. SQIP stands for “Supply Chain & Quality Improvement Program.” The award is presented annually to companies that have distinguished themselves through exceptional performance in the areas of product quality and delivery reliability.

On top of that Mankiewicz has also been honored with a special award for “Operational Excellence” and is the sole supplier that receives this special award.

Operational Excellence describes the ability of a company to continuously optimize its processes and systems across the entire value chain by following a clear strategy, implementing best practice processes and achieving the highest process performance in a well‐structured organization.


René Lang, Executive Managing Director Aviation comments: “We are so delighted for our team that we have been awarded the highest honor as an ‘accredited supplier’ again plus the extra award for our operational excellence. This recognition is a testament to our commitment to customer service and quality and we are excited to continue our partnership with Airbus.”

Mankiewicz develops and produces coatings for cabin interiors, exteriors and structural parts, supplying well‐known MROs, airlines and OEMs worldwide. This includes Airbus since the 1970s.
