In order to increase the number of
component manufacturers HAIF
launched the Aerospace Supplier
Initiative Programme in December
2004. Mainly automotive and ICT
component manufacturers were
invited to the programme.
In March 2006 HAIF initiated and
organized the establishment of
the Hungarian Aerospace
Cluster. Now it has 25 members
In 2008/09 HAIF launced an
AS9100 Quality Mgmt program
for 30+ SMEs, mainly members
of HAC
Total 133 organizations, 2500 people with 30+ companies with AS9100 cert.
