Zotefoams appoints Wulfmeyer as first Approved Fabricator for aerospace
Global foam manufacturer names inaugural member of Global Partner Programme
Zotefoams, a global foam manufacturer whose advanced materials are used by brands including Boeing, Airbus and Nike, has appointed German aviation specialist, Wulfmeyer, as its first Approved Fabricator for aerospace under the company’s flagship Global Partner Programme.
Headquartered in Hannover, Wulfmeyer develops and manufactures aircraft interior components, including non-textile flooring, precision-engineered foam parts and adhesive systems. The company serves customers across commercial and business aviation, including major European aerospace OEMs such as Airbus and its complete supply chain. The announcement comes ahead of Wulfmeyer’s attendance at Aircraft Interiors Expo (AIX) in Hamburg in April.
With Europe’s aircraft order backlog exceeding 17,000 aircraft, equivalent to around 12 years of production, and air traffic forecast to grow steadily through 2026, the partnership comes as aerospace manufacturers face growing pressure to increase output, making closer supply chain collaboration more important than ever.
Formalising and building on a trusted relationship of more than 30 years, the partnership strengthens Zotefoams capacity to serve its aerospace customers through a specialist fabricator with deep sector knowledge, precision manufacturing capability and close proximity to key European markets. For Wulfmeyer, the partnership brings closer access to Zotefoams wider product portfolio and technical expertise, creating greater scope to develop new lightweight, high-performance foam applications for the aerospace industry.
The recently launched Global Partner Programme is Zotefoams framework for working with selected fabricators, distributors and specialist partners across Europe, North America and Asia. Designed to enhance Zotefoams best-in-class service across markets and applications, it offers customers a clearer route to approved partners that meet Zotefoams stringent standards. As part of the programme, Wulfmeyer will serve as Zotefoams first Approved Fabricator for aerospace, supporting European customers through its central German base and with specialist expertise in high-precision aircraft foam components.
Fabrice Lacroix, sales director EMEA at Zotefoams, said:
“We’ve seen first-hand the quality of work that Wulfmeyer can deliver, and formalising our partnership allows us to offer customers a more complete, streamlined solution. By bringing Wulfmeyer into the Global Partner Programme, we can combine advanced materials with proven fabrication expertise to deliver high-performance, application-ready components that meet the exacting standards of the aerospace sector.
“This partnership strengthens how we support customers across Europe, improving consistency, responsiveness and technical collaboration across the supply chain. At a time when the aviation industry is under pressure to increase output, closer alignment between material innovation and precision manufacturing will be critical to helping customers scale with confidence and deliver for end users.”
Lorenz Foerster, managing director, at Wulfmeyer, said:
“We’re looking forward to strengthening our relationship and collaborating more closely with Zotefoams as their first Approved Fabricator for the aerospace industry. The partnership gives us closer access to Zotefoams wider product portfolio and technical expertise, creating scope to develop new lightweight, high-quality foam applications for our clients.”
Looking ahead, the announcement marks an early milestone for Zotefoams Global Partner Programme and signals how the company intends to work more closely with specialist partners across key industries and markets.
