Pomigliano d'Arco, in Campania, combines the Leonardo aeronautical site — aerostructures and sub-assemblies, historically tied to the ATR programmes — with the Stellantis car plant. The region is organised around the Campania aerospace district, federating a dense network of tier-2 and tier-3 subcontractors.
That fabric of subcontracting SMEs is exactly the profile for which outsourcing special processes carries the most value: investing in a blast cabinet and its qualification makes little sense at low volume. Kronos Engineering operates on site with portable tooling, as a subcontractor or as an embedded team, and trains the operators who then run the process in house.
