DEMGY Group pursues its growth strategy with the announcement of the acquisition of E.I.S. Aircraft GmbH
The acquisition of E.I.S. Aircraft GmbH enables the DEMGY Group to consolidate its activities in Germany and strengthen its European leadership, by becoming one of the leading processors of high value-added plastics for the aeronautics sector, with high-performance plastic and composite solutions that are lighter than metal, to promote energy savings.
E.I.S. Aircraft GmbH becomes DEMGY EIS GmbH
Innovation has always been part of DEMGY Group’s DNA. The acquisition of E.I.S. Aircraft is in line with this commitment to innovation and continuous improvement in structural lightening. Indeed, one of the pillars of E.I.S Aircraft is an activity dedicated to the deployment of new products for aircraft interiors, representing highly critical know-how in the transformation of new materials into high-performance composites and plastics.
“This acquisition is a real opportunity for E.I.S. Aicraft to create technological and commercial synergies with DEMGY Group. Our aim is to make DEMGY EIS an even stronger company, and to offer our customers an even more comprehensive range of products and services”, says Dr Marcus Bernards, Director of DEMGY EIS.

About E.I.S. Aircraft GmbH:
For over 60 years, E.I.S.-Aircraft has been a specialist supplier of thermoplastic components to the aerospace industry. Its two sites in Euskirchen and Lemgo cover a full range of services along the entire supply chain: design, manufacturing, project management, production, and after-sales service. EIS Aircraft suffered the full force of the aeronautics crisis in 2020 due to the pandemic. Faced with these difficulties, it was taken over in June 2021 by the financial company RESTART AG, owned by Markus Hüter. The EIS Aircraft Group, headquartered in Euskirchen, Germany, owned 3 entities, 100% in the aeronautical industry before 2021: the Euskirchen site to produce composite parts, the Lemgo site to produce thermoplastic parts and also a site dedicated to the maintenance of cabin interiors, which was closed in 2021 following the COVID crisis. This restructuring plan and the strong upturn in the aeronautics business have enabled the EIS Aircraft group to return to healthy profitability, and to feel confident in accelerating its developments and modernizing its workshops to better meet the current and future expectations of customers such as Airbus and Boeing.
Today, E.I.S. Aircraft offers its customers innovative products and guaranteed quality services. The company has successfully passed the most stringent quality controls carried out by national and international aviation authorities, as well as audits carried out by its major customers. E.I.S. Aircraft holds key certifications across the entire aeronautical value chain, including EASA 21G, EASA 21J and EASA Part 145, in addition to EN9100 certification.
In 2022, E.I.S. Aircraft achieved sales of 22 million euros. E.I.S. Aircraft employs 130 people.
