Austrian aerospace group FACC (Ried im Innkreis, Austria) was recently presented with Rolls-Royce’s (London, U.K.) Best Practice Award. With this award, the British engine manufacturer acknowledges excellent performance and quality from its long-standing partnership with FACC.

FACC was presented with the award at the 2020 Rolls-Royce Global Supplier Conference in Berlin, Germany. 

“I am very proud of the achievements of the FACC crew. The Best Practice Award from Rolls-Royce is a prestigious distinction that I am particularly delighted about. I would like to congratulate our highly qualified workforce on receiving this award. It is only as a team and by consistently further developing our products and processes according to the individual needs of our customers that we are able to perfectly meet the requirements of the market and thus excellently position ourselves as a partner for future orders,” said Robert Machtlinger, CEO of FACC, at the award ceremony.

The aerospace industry is developing at a rapid pace. According to FACC, making air traffic even lighter, more efficient, quieter and more environmentally friendly are challenges that the company will strive to solve through its research, development and system manufacturing. FACC's Rolls-Royce engine portfolio includes bypass ducts, nose spinners, fan track liners and acoustic liners.

“We are proud that Rolls-Royce has been placing its trust in FACC for 20 years now,” said Machtlinger. “This award is a confirmation of the daily commitment of our employees and strengthens our position as a reliable technology partner in the global aerospace market.”
