Following the corporation’s
withdrawal in 2007 from its
aerostructure assembly activities,
MP has identified the following
activities for consolidating the company’s
presence in the aeronautical sector:
comprehensive, integral turnkey solutions
in the fields of Engineering and Industrial
Services. MP is undertaking these
activities through two of its companies: MP
Mechanical Components for Engineering
and MP Productivity for Services.
ENGINEERING
Within the company’s engineering activity, its
aim is to integrate its processes and tools
engineering resources in order to take on
more ambitious projects, thereby providing
an integral solution and boosting the
activities which we are specialists in. This
approach will make us a ground-breaking
company in taking on integral engineering
projects within the sector.
The current scope of our engineering work
is as follows:
- Process Engineering:
- Carrying out FAL assembly processes
and structural assemblies.
- Defining manufacturing structure
documentation: ITs, graphs, assembly
routes, IVs, tools, normal structures, etc).
- Defining manufacturing structure
(control of configuration).
- Technical specifications for replacement
parts. Assessing assembly times and
replacement parts.
- Development engineering at the client’s
premises (concurrent engineering).
- Technical support for programmes:
optimisation of processes and products
- Engineering of Tools:
- Design of tools for assembling highly
automated aerostructures (platforms).
- Design of auxiliary assembly tools.
- Studies of ergonomics in assembly.
- Calculation of structures of finite
elements.
- Manufacture and assembly of tools
with laser-tracker.
- Design and manufacture of ground
support equipment.
- Design and manufacture of testing
benches and functional tests.
We have carried out the work described
above in projects relevant to the C295,
CN234, A400M and A330 MRTT.
Looking to the future, and with the aim of
carrying out Integral Engineering Projects,
our objective is to establish working
relationships with new clients in the
aeronautical sector. This is a feat which we
have already achieved with SACESA, with
which we have signed new contracts for the
design and manufacture of curing tools for
the A320, CN235 and B777 programmes;
Airbus (Getafe), with which we have signed
new contracts for the manufacture and
assembly of ground support equipment, and
with the after-sales department of EADSCASA.
We also aim to increase the number
of certifications held by our tools staff for
the use of the laser-tracker measuring
system for assembly activities and periodic
checking of tools.
INDUSTRIAL SERVICES
Our approach and aims in terms of our
services activities are the same: the
integration of resources with the aim
of boosting the activities which provide
services separately, in order to offer an
Integral Industrial Service. This service
will take the shape of one integral solution
composed of four lines of action, in which
we have extensive and proven experience.
The current scope of our industrial services
is as follows:
- Industrial Maintenance:
- Corrective and preventive maintenance
in auxiliary installations: compressed
air, suction equipment, paint booths.
- Corrective and preventive maintenance
of assembly platforms and manual
assembly tools.
- Maintenance management:
compilation of documentation, drafting
of procedures, studies of replacement
parts.
- Periodic checks of tools using laser
tracker. Maintenance of quality
documentation, etc.
- Management of fluids.

- Implementations:
- Installation of new production resources:
fitting, levelling, start up, etc.
- Transfer of production resources:
disassembly, transfer and installation
in new location.
- General mechanical and electrical
assistance.
- Machine Safety (Royal Decree 1215):
- Modifications of machinery and
installations to ensure compliance with
safety regulations.
- Certification
- EC labelling in process lines, machines
and testing benches.
- Integration of auxiliary product:
- Integral service for management
of purchase and supply of auxiliary
products.
- Reduction of costs, negotiators, time,
deadline, etc.
- Stock guarantee.
- Groups of products: fluids, PPEs,
industrial hardware, hydraulic and
pneumatic materials, electrical and
mechanical materials, chemical
products and replacement parts.
Within the services described above, we
provide the client with DIMM maintenance
technology. This is a maintenance system
based on continual improvement via the
Dif fer entials-Inspection-Maintenance-
Improvement cycle. We also provide the
SERTEC-AIR service, a technical service
for manual tools in the aeronautical sector:
riveters, drills, screwdrivers, grinders,
sanders, etc.
We are currently providing maintenance
services in the installations of EADS-CASA
in San Pablo, CBC in Puerto de Santa
María, and SK10 Andalucía. Moreover, we
have signed a contract with EADS-CASA
for the provision, management and repair
of consumable and depreciable tools for
manufacturing elemental parts. We also
provide services for moving machines
and platforms, and for the modification of
machinery to ensure compliance with safety
regulations for machinery. The most recent
example of this service was for presses at
the EADS-CASA Tablada airport.
To provide comprehensive, integral,
turnkey solutions in the field of
Engineering and Industrial Services
As has already been said, the idea is to
integrate to become more competitive,
and within this approach, the objective is
to provide an Integral Industrial Service
by complementing our main Industrial
Maintenance activity with integral services
for the purchase and supply of auxiliary
products which are adapted to our clients’
needs, Implementation Engineering and
the Technical Assistance Service: carrying
out implementations, installations and
transfers of production resources, electrical,
mechanical and automation technical
assistance, and lastly modifications to
machinery and installations to ensure
compliance with safety regulations,
certification and EC labelling in process
lines, machines, testing benches and all
other industrial equipment.
With this approach, in addition to
consolidating its growth in the sector, MP
aims to reinforce its traditional services by
integrating resources to provide them to
the companies linked to the corporation,
providing a service that is clearly unique:
Comprehensive, Integral, Turnkey Solutions
in the field of Engineering and Industrial
Services.
