Following the official launch of AZURA POLSKA announced on September 1st, 2015 in Kielce, during the MSPO air show, Eddy Ephrati, President of NIMROD Group, is proud to celebrate this ribbon cutting ceremony in the presence of Ms. Hanna Zdanowska, Mayor of Lódz, representatives of Airbus Group, and the new employees of AZURA POLSKA. 
This most recent addition to NIMROD Group, a fast-expanding French aerospace company, is now starting initial production of metallic components to be installed on the Airbus A350 XWB family (Extra Wide Body). With more than 700 A350 ordered so far, STELIA Aerospace and Airbus Group cooperation with AZURA POLSKA will bring Polish manufacturing into every single Airbus A350 XWB, one of the most successful aircraft of the new generation. 
The local production in Lódz will expand the already existing production capabilities of NIMROD Group in France. When production is in full swing, this first contract will ship no less than 44,000 parts per month. Between 80% and 90% of such production output will come from AZURA POLSKA in Lódz. 
The multi-year contract awarded by STELIA Aerospace represents around 3 million production man- hours, thus securing stable and high-tech positions at AZURA POLSKA until at least 2024. 
New jobs created at AZURA POLSKA will be distributed across industrialization, sheet metal parts production, component and structural assembly, surface treatment & painting, support and services, with a prime focus on innovative technologies and automation, the trademarks of NIMROD Group. 
Beyond this first contract, AZURA POLSKA is already looking at expanding its local capabilities in the fields of machining, composite, and surface treatment for its key customers and especially for Airbus Helicopters which has already stated its willingness to make Lódz its helicopter hub in Poland.
