Jihlavan is a traditional supplier of hydraulic components for flight controls, hydraulic power and landing gear systems for Czech aircraft, such as Turbolet L 410, for which it is the leading supplier of over 20 components. Jihlavan is an important exporter with customers all over the world. In recent years, major contracts were signed in France and Spain. "We have significantly increased our international presence in the last few year," confirms Petr Lízal. "Recent successes include long-term contracts for BTP (built-to-print) hydraulic components for the Airbus supply chain, such as the hydraulic fuses for the complete Airbus fleet, LockStayActuator for the Airbus A350, MLG (Main Landing Gear) Door Actuator + NLG (Nose LG) Door Actuator for Airbus A350, and 3 Ramp Actuators + Swivel Valve for the Airbus A400 M, to name just a few." An important part of the portfolio is also the Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) business. The company's main competence in this area is the instrumentation refurbishment for the L39 and L410 programmes; repair and testing of hydraulic components for the B737 Classic and, more recently, for the B737 NG.
