Commercial Aerospace Interiors

Class A Cosmetic Finishing for Galley, Seating, and Cabin Components

In the modern commercial cabin, aesthetics are as critical as aerodynamics. FKI USA leverages decades of experience in the “Class A” Appliance industry to manufacture aerospace components that are visually flawless. We eliminate the “industrial” look of standard stamping, providing you with parts that enhance the passenger experience.

We specialize in high-touch, high-visibility components where surface finish is paramount:

Galley Inserts

Seamless, deep-drawn stainless steel housings for coffee makers, chillers, and convection ovens.

Seating Systems

High-strength structural brackets, armrest mechanisms, and decorative seat frame covers.

Cabin Amenities

Polished lighting bezels, lavatory fixtures, and overhead bin latch assemblies.

Material Expertise

We process 300-Series Stainless Steel, Aluminum (6061/7075), and Titanium with protective masking to prevent scratches during production.

Engineer’s Note: Our Deep Draw capabilities allow us to replace welded galley boxes with single-piece drawn cans, reducing weight and eliminating leak paths
