Diehl Aviation officially broke ground on July 30 for its new production facility in Craiova, located in the Dolj region of Romania in a ceremony attended by company executives and local officials.
Craiova was selected for its strategic advantages: The Dolj region offers excellent infrastructure, including direct access to major highways and Craiova International Airport, enabling efficient logistics and seamless connectivity to suppliers and customers. Romania itself is an EU member country and the region is also known for its strong availability of skilled professionals, supporting high-quality production standards.

The construction project will be primarily planned and executed by the experienced Romanian company Global Vision, ensuring strong regional integration and efficient project delivery. This collaboration strengthens local value creation and supports knowledge and technology transfer in the Craiova region.
“Our new facility in Craiova represents a strategic investment in Diehl Aviation’s future,” said Jörg Schuler, CEO of Diehl Aviation. “The combination of an excellent location, skilled talent, and strong local partners enables us to continue delivering high-quality and competitive products. We are pleased to take this important step together with the Dolj region and our local partner.”
