Mattes & Amann Group unveils TE-PAC at AIX
A new era for aircraft cabin interiors — Seven years in the making
Developed in close collaboration with Airbus and Diehl, TE-PAC is not an incremental update — it is a fundamental rethinking of the aircraft interior surface. By laminating a premium textile directly onto a lightweight honeycomb composite panel, the system creates a seamless, joint-free cabin surface that simultaneously meets the strictest aerospace performance requirements.
“This premiere represents the result of seven years of intensive development within our group. We are proud to bring TE-PAC to AIX — the right stage for a solution of this scope. At the same time, we know the reality of aviation: market entry barriers are high. Certification processes, qualification requirements, and supply chain integration demand patience and sustained commitment. We are prepared for that path", says Anton Schumann, Board / Sales / Communications at Blanke textech GmbH.
A product that transforms cabin panels into design statements
Traditional wrapped panels have long frustrated aircraft manufacturers and airlines alike: excessive material waste, time-consuming manual finishing, visible seams and wrapping edges. TE-PAC eliminates all of that. The result:
- A smooth, seamless textile surface — no joints, no wrapping edges visible
- Flexible design language for airline branding and premium cabin segments
- Significant CAPEX advantages through reduced textile waste and faster installation
- Textile-based acoustic dampening and premium tactile quality for passengers
Innovation rooted in partnership — and built for the long haul
The collaboration with Airbus and Diehl was not incidental — it was essential. Aviation demands more than clever materials; it demands verified, certified, integrated solutions. The Mattes & Amann Group has invested seven years in exactly that: understanding the aerospace supply chain, aligning with OEM requirements, and engineering a product that works not just in a lab, but on an aircraft.
TE-PAC creates tangible value across the entire value chain — for aircraft manufacturers, cabin integrators, airlines, and ultimately, passengers who experience a more refined and comfortable cabin atmosphere.
