Case study: Renovating the leading edges of the Jaguar A 157
Our customer works in an association museum that owns 74 fighter aircraft and welcomes an average of 30,000 visitors a year. The customer wanted to renovate the leading edges of the Jaguar A 157 using EPDM purchased from BORFLEX CHERBOURG. The project was a great success, and we're delighted to share our experience with you.
