Viteria Dell’Era strengthens its aerospace positioning with EN 9100 certification

Viteria Dell’Era has launched a structured qualification path for the aerospace sector by starting the EN 9100 certification process. Initiated in June 2025 and scheduled for completion by April 2026, the project represents a strategic milestone in the company’s commercial development within highly regulated and technology-driven markets.

Achieving EN 9100 certification will allow Viteria Dell’Era to fully align with the requirements of leading European aerospace supply chains, particularly in terms of quality management, process control, material traceability, and supply chain reliability. These elements are increasingly decisive for suppliers of critical components and fastening systems.

Aerospace as a driver of industrial growth

The decision to invest in certification is the result of a detailed analysis of European market dynamics, where the aerospace sector is assuming a central role in industrial policy and long-term investment strategies. Covering civil aviation, defense, security, and advanced technology applications, the sector benefits from structured programs with investment horizons extending over decades.

Across Europe, and particularly in Germany, procurement and industrial development programs are expanding, generating direct effects along the supply chain. This growth translates into rising demand for qualified suppliers, advanced manufacturing technologies, and reliable production capacity.

Lombardy and Italy within the aerospace value chain

In Italy, aerospace is one of the pillars of advanced manufacturing. Lombardy alone generates approximately €8 billion of value out of a national total of €40 billion, employing around 21,800 highly qualified professionals. Exports account for roughly €1 billion of the regional turnover, underlining the strong international competitiveness of the Lombard aerospace supply chain.

Growth prospects remain significant. Current estimates point to potential annual increases for Lombardy in the range of €10–12 billion. Even under more conservative assumptions, the sector could stabilize at average growth levels of around €8 billion per year, creating concrete opportunities for certified suppliers of critical components and high-performance fastening systems.

The strategic role of EN 9100 certification

Within the aerospace industry, certification is not simply a formal requirement but a prerequisite for supply chain access. EN 9100 has become an essential standard for manufacturers of critical components, especially fasteners and fastening systems used in structural and safety-critical applications.

For Viteria Dell’Era, this certification path means strengthening the robustness of production processes, enhancing material and batch traceability, and implementing a quality management system fully aligned with the expectations of major aerospace players. EN 9100 also enables more effective collaboration with prime contractors and tier-one suppliers, lowering entry barriers and improving competitiveness across the European market.

In an environment characterized by increasingly stringent qualification requirements and higher supply chain selectivity, investing in EN 9100 represents a long-term strategic positioning choice. It allows the company to capture the growth opportunities offered by the aerospace sector while consolidating the role of specialized fasteners within high-value technological supply chains.
