Demgy Group, a designer and manufacturer of aircraft interior components, has shared details of its plans for Aircraft Interiors Expo (AIX) 2026, taking place next week (14 to 16 April) in Hamburg, Germany.
The France-based company, which is a Tier 1 supplier to Airbus and Boeing, will address three core requirements for next-generation aircraft interiors. Key elements will include weight reduction through advanced materials including composites and high-performance thermoplastics; functional integration that combines structural performance with passenger experience requirements; and scalable manufacturing processes such as additive technologies.
Visitors to AIX can explore Demgy’s capabilities across five main product categories, including cabin partitions and class dividers, safety systems, additive manufacturing and selective metallisation, and components for the passenger cabin, cockpit and flight deck.
Moveable and fixed class dividers
The class divider systems on show are designed to combine certified structural performance with controlled design flexibility. Developed for aircraft programmes including the A330, A380, A350 and A320, the fixed class dividers are developed using high-performance thermoplastic composite technologies and are engineered for optimal strength-to-weight ratios. The dividers can be tailored to airline customer specifications, including colours, textures, finishes and integrated branding.
The cabin divider range also includes modular curtain systems designed and manufactured for the A330 and A380. The curtain systems have a lightweight composite construction and can be quickly reconfigured. They are available with options of a leather frame, pleated curtain, or a rigid panel with airline-specific branding.
Additive manufacturing and metallisation
Demgy says its additive manufacturing processes enable rapid prototyping and certified production of lightweight cabin interior components, with greater design freedom than is possible with traditional tooling methods.
Its selective metallisation process enhances plastic parts with functional and aesthetic metallic finishes, offering EMI shielding and a premium look while reducing weight. As a complementary process, metallic decoration and painting processes deliver high-end finishes for interior panels and trims.
The Group’s additive manufacturing process uses two types of technology. Powder bed technology uses PEKK or PEKK 100 natural or PPS carbon fibre-reinforced products, as well as bio-based PA11. Wire deposition technology is used for the deposition of composites with continuous carbon fibres in PEKK matrices.
AT AIX 2026, Demgy will present a Smart Plastic Demonstrator in the form of a drone that has been produced using additive manufacturing and integrates advanced features through electrical conductivity achieved by depositing filament.
Cabin and interior components
The lightweight thermoplastic interior components on show will include injection-moulded armrest and armcap components with customisable finishes.
Demgy will also demonstrate precision-manufactured window surrounds, latch and hinge assemblies produced from advanced plastic and composite materials that offer UV stability and fire resistance. Available with manual or electronic day/night systems, the window systes are designed for integration across Boeing and Airbus platforms and are developed in line with FAR 25.853 and Airbus ABD0031 FST requirements.

Safety components and signage
Emergency exit signage is a core product offering for Demgy Group. Manufactured using durable, high-performance materials, the signage options are certified to FAR/CS-25 requirements and are available in photoluminescent or LED-backlit configurations, produced to ensure clear legibility in all conditions.
Custom layouts allow integration across different aircraft types and cabin configurations while maintaining strict regulatory compliance.
Cockpit and flight deck components
Also on display at AIX 2026 will be an optically clear, high-performance plastic visor for a pilot’s emergency mask. The component can be integrated into the emergency oxygen mask and meets requirements for optical clarity, impact resistance, and precise dimensional control.
Demgy will also show a certified clip that secures the oxygen mask in place, or attaches to the pilot’s emergency keyboard.
Pierre-Jean Leduc, president & CEO of Demgy Group said of the showcase. “Weight targets drive material selection toward composites, and high-performance thermoplastics and regulatory compliance is non-negotiable.
“Passenger experience expectations require aesthetic excellence and functional innovation, and sustainability objectives demand manufacturing process optimisation. Demgy’s integrated capabilities across materials, processes, and certification allow us to address these requirements systematically in a one-stop-shop.”
