Ducommun Incorporated Wins Airbus’ Top Detail Parts Partner (“D2P”) Specialist Award at Annual Supplier Conference

SANTA ANA, Calif., March 29, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ducommun Incorporated (NYSE: DCO) (“Ducommun” or the “Company”), a global supplier of innovative electronic and structural solutions for the aerospace & defense industry, is proud to announce that it was recently presented an award for top “D2P Specialist” performance at the annual Airbus Detail Parts Partner Conference and Awards Forum held in Toulouse, France on March 14, 2023. The D2P designation represents preferred supplier status in Airbus’ value chain, and Ducommun was presented the award as a top “D2P Specialist” in recognition of its outstanding level of performance, operational reliability and delivering on shared commitments in its ongoing partnership with Airbus.

“We are thrilled and honored to be recognized as a top D2P Specialist by Airbus. This award is another very significant step forward for Ducommun and its industry-leading titanium structural component business. Ducommun before 2016 did very little business with Airbus and has made tremendous progress since then with this industry leading OEM. Our Structures team has distinguished themselves among Airbus’ Global Supply base as best in class and this bodes well for our future both in the near term and long term,” said Stephen G. Oswald, chairman, president and chief executive officer.

Under a multi-year contract awarded in 2021, Ducommun provides titanium work packages to Airbus using its proprietary super plastic forming and hot forming technologies on multiple programs, including the versatile A320 family of single-aisle aircraft and the A330 wide-body platform. The work is performed at Ducommun’s world-class engineering and manufacturing performance centers.
