The company is a technological leader in low-pressure turbines, high-pressure compressors, turbine center frames as well as manufacturing processes and repair techniques. In the commercial OEM business, our company plays a key role in developing, manufacturing, and marketing high-tech components together with international partners. We are an internationally established supplier of engine components and subsystems and are well positioned as a global player in the market. MTU Maintenance is the world’s leading provider of services for commercial aircraft engines. Our market is an oligopoly with high barriers to entry, which means we have very few new competitors. We maintain a stable position in this market by maintaining long-standing partnerships with other key players.
MTU stands for world-class technology and superlative quality for all products and services. As a technology leader, we are continuously driving forward the development of innovative technologies and pioneering engine concepts for commercial and military aircraft. To achieve this goal, we cooperate closely with our network of partners from industry, research, and science.
Our solid balance sheet structure ensures we have the flexibility to conduct future investments and financing activities. We use our liquidity to facilitate our company’s continued organic growth. Our dividend policy is geared toward maintaining continuity and distributing earnings-oriented dividends.
The aviation industry is on a long-term growth trajectory: transport services for passengers and goods freight will continue to rise in the future. Over the next few decades, we stand to benefit from the globally growing fleet of aircraft and the spare parts and maintenance business this creates.
Our focus is on high-growth and high-volume military and commercial engines. We work with a variety of different partners and are represented in almost all thrust and power categories. Not only are we ideally positioned in new engine programs, but our portfolio features numerous established propulsion systems in the prime of their product life cycle. This allows us to minimize potential business risks and optimize our growth opportunities.
Our vision is emissions-free flight. Key elements are evolutionary enhancements of the gas turbine engine based on the geared turbofan, and completely new, revolutionary propulsion concepts, such as the water-enhanced turbofan and the Flying Fuel CellTM. Sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) and hydrogen play an important role. Today’s SAF already have the potential to significantly reduce the aviation industry’s climate impact.
By continuously optimizing structures and processes, and by reducing the company’s capital tie-up, we are sustainably securing our competitiveness. As a result, we are always ready to respond to changing conditions and new challenges, and to further increase our customer satisfaction. Our focus here is on digitalization and automation.
Highly motivated and skilled employees are crucial to MTU’s successful growth. We strive to maintain a future-, development-, and performance-oriented corporate culture with a strong sense of social responsibility. We promote cultural and personal diversity, flexible working arrangements, digitalization, and connectivity.
