Aerospace and defense systems supplier with focus on life-safety equipment
AUTOFLUG manufactures textiles, mechanics, and electronics for aviation and defense—parachutes, ejection seats, fuel systems, protective gear. The tech stack (C, C++, LabVIEW, CATIA, ARINC 429) reflects embedded systems and hardware design maturity typical of qualified aerospace suppliers. Active IT modernization and industrialization projects signal operational scaling; minimal recent hiring velocity and concentrated engineering focus suggest a stable, mature manufacturing operation rather than a growth-phase startup.
