Canagrosa: A strategic partner in the aircraft lifecycle

The aerospace industry, one of the most demanding in terms of quality, safety and efficiency, requires strict process control and verification at every stage of an aircraft's life cycle.
From research and development (R&D) to maintenance, repair and operation (MRO), through industrialization and recycling, reuse and reduction practices (3Rs), Canagrosa is positioned as a key partner for the aerospace industry, offering advanced solutions in physical-chemical testing, process control, calibrations and integral metrological management.
R&D&I: Innovation and Development with Scientific Precision
The R&D phase is crucial for the design and validation of new materials, technologies and processes that will define the future of aviation. Canagrosa collaborates with aerospace companies by providing materials analysis, coating tests and chemical and mechanical resistance studies. Thanks to its state-of-the-art laboratories, the company ensures that each new development meets the highest standards of quality and performance prior to its implementation in industrial production. Its leadership in chemical process control is backed by Nadcap program audits, where it has maintained “zero non-conformities” since 2010, an international recognition of the robustness and reliability of its analyses.
Industrialization: Quality and process control
In the transition from innovation to mass production, industrialization requires strict quality control and optimization of manufacturing processes. Canagrosa offers metrology services, physical-chemical testing and coating control, ensuring that each component complies with the required technical specifications. The verification of parts and panels through rigorous testing prevents failures in the supply chain and guarantees the quality and safety of aerospace products.
MRO: Maintenance, Repair and Operation with Efficiency and Safety
Maintenance is a fundamental pillar in the operability and safety of aircraft. Canagrosa is a laboratory specialized in the quality control of plasma thermal sprayed coatings, both ceramic and metallic, and also provides analysis of lubricants, fuels and structural materials for the early detection of wear and potential failures. Its calibration and certification services ensure the accuracy of measuring instruments used in maintenance processes. A significant milestone is that 2024 marked 10 years since the Seville laboratory was accredited in equipment calibration by ENAC, Entidad Nacional de Acreditación. In addition, its capacity to carry out on-site tests allows for an agile and efficient response to any operational need.
3Rs: Recycling, Reuse and Reduction for a sustainable future
In a global context increasingly committed to sustainability, the aerospace sector seeks to reduce its environmental impact through recycling and reuse strategies. Canagrosa plays a key role in assessing the feasibility of recycled materials, ensuring that their reuse does not compromise the safety and quality of aircraft. Likewise, its studies on waste reduction in industrial processes help to minimize environmental impact and optimize resources, contributing to the development of a more responsible and sustainable aviation.
A strategic partner for the entire Aerospace Industry
Regardless of the phase of the aircraft life cycle in which a customer operates, Canagrosa offers specialized solutions to ensure the quality, safety and sustainability of its products and processes. With a combination of experience, cutting-edge technology and an unwavering commitment to excellence, the company has established itself as a strategic partner for companies in the aerospace industry seeking to optimize their performance and meet the demands of the global market.
