Flying High at Thompson Aero Seating

Formech's 686 floor-standing vacuum forming machine is flying high this year, with sales to a wide range of manufacturers, educational establishments and more. The latest customer is Thompson Aero Seating, a recognised market leader known for ingenuity in the design and manufacture of premium, business-class airline seating.

Based in Northern Ireland, Thompson Aero Seating offers a wide range of innovative, beautiful, comfortable, highly efficient, and reliable business- and first-class seating products.

The constantly expanding and evolving Vantage seating range now includes products for twin- and single-aisle aircraft, which range from turnkey, through customised, to utterly bespoke, using intelligent design to maximise passengers’ comfort and personal space, optimising every inch of the cabin.

Formech's engineer recently visited Thompson Aero Seating at their production facility in Portadown to install a 686 vacuum forming machine and train the team on its use.

The 686 features the optional cooling fan system with overhead gantry and 550W fan to cool formed material and shorten cycles times.
