The demand for aircraft is in Klimvlucht, which the FACC has full order books. Nevertheless, the Innviertler is also on the cost brake. Storage stocks have been reduced, production processes are made more efficient. And there is also storage elsewhere. The company’s birthday gift was cut to their employees in the form of a day off on Honor Day.
Since 2010, the FACC employees have been free on their birthday. “We not only see this a voluntary social benefit, but an act of appreciation for the dedication and dedication of each team member,” said Robert Machtlinger in December 2017 for this non -himself gift from the aircraft supplier.
Now this extra day, however, fell victim to the efficiency increasing and optimization program. “Because of the enormous increases in personnel costs, some of which are twice as high as in neighboring countries, we have decided not to implement the free birthday. That is 4000 working days that we gave and that we would like to give up. That was a concern for us, but it is no longer possible, “says Machtlinger. From January 1, 2025, the FACC birthday gift is history. “This is understood by the workforce,” emphasizes the manager, who has been at the top of the company since 2016.
The structure of the staff was also working. After you have taken over almost 1,000 employees for the past two years, you are now building that the learning curves of the new specialists grab, so that you can create the next step in sales growth with about the same workforce.
“Working on all corners and ending”
In addition to the reduction in storage capacities, the efficiency screw for production processes is also rotated. The supplier network is optimized so that the costs are reduced. “We work on all corners and end to easily put ourselves better and to compensate for the location beads that we all have,” says Machtlinger.
Win after tax after three quarters of 5.2 million euros
In the first three quarters of the 2024 financial year, the FACC increased sales to 642.6 million euros. In the comparison period 2023, sales had 513.9 million euros. The highly increased location costs pressed the result. After taxes, the aircraft supplier only achieved 5.2 million euros in profit.
