- Montana Aerospace AG (AERO.SW) manufactures complex lightweight structural components and assemblies for the aerospace industry, including structural parts for fuselage, wings, and landing gear; critical engine components subject to high thermal and mechanical loads; connecting parts for engine mounts; and functional components for cabin interiors, utilizing aluminum, titanium, superalloys, special steels, and composites through its vertically integrated one-stop-shop processes from raw material extrusion and recycling to final assembly. The company operates 16 production sites across Europe, North and South America, and Asia, serving leading OEMs such as Airbus, Boeing, and Lockheed Martin as well as Tier 1 suppliers with a local-to-local strategy; it was founded in 1814 as part of legacy operations and is headquartered in Reinach, Switzerland, as a subsidiary of Montana Tech Components AG. In recent strategic shifts, Montana Aerospace divested its E-Mobility segment (Alu Menziken Group) to Mengtai Germany in November 2024 and its Energy segment (ASTA Group) to an entity owned by DDr. Michael Tojner in September 2025, transforming into a pure-play aerostructures provider; it previously acquired ASCO Industries in 2022 for EUR 211 million and reported strong 9M 2025 results with net sales up 15.5% year-over-year to EUR 712.3 million and EBITDA up 28.6% to EUR 113.0 million, driven by higher volumes in commercial aerospace and extensions like ASCO's F-35 program partnership with Lockheed Martin.
