LMI Aerospace expands its Savannah operation

LMI Aerospace, a leading supplier of structural components, assemblies and kits to the aerospace industry, is expanding its Savannah facility, which provides kits and assemblies to both Gulfstream Aerospace and Aviation Partners Boeing, general manager Phil Lajeunesse told the board and advisory council of the Savannah Economic Development Authority Tuesday.

“We started in 2003 with Gulfstream, developing fuselage skin kit assemblies that worked with their lean, just-in-time manufacturing process,” he said.

Over the years, LMI’s reputation for quality and reliability allowed them to deliver the kits directly to the assembly line on the manufacturing floor for the shift they would be needed, Lajeunesse said.

Five years ago, the company added Aviation Partners Boeing to its client list, producing a kit that supports the installation of winglets on the Boeing 737, 757 and 767.
