Aerospace gear and drivetrain manufacturer across Europe and North America
BMT Aerospace manufactures flight-critical gearing, gearbox assemblies, and drivetrain components for fixed-wing and rotary aircraft. The tech stack reflects a transitional manufacturing operation: legacy automation (Siemens, Beckhoff, Fanuc PLCs; Rockwell FactoryTalk) paired with modern data infrastructure (SAP S/4HANA migration underway, Python scripting, OPC UA and MQTT for equipment connectivity). Active hiring in manufacturing and finance—with a smaller data and engineering footprint—signals cost-control pressure and a push to digitalize production processes and legacy equipment integration.
BMT Aerospace International is a division of BMT Group NV headquartered in Oostkamp, Belgium, with four manufacturing subsidiaries in Romania, Belgium, and two in the United States. The company manufactures precision gearing and drivetrain assemblies for turbine engines, mechanical actuation systems, helicopter drive systems, defense platforms, and airframe structures. Core capabilities include build-to-print gearbox manufacturing using OEM specifications, and the company operates across five core aerospace market segments. The organization serves global OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers seeking cost-effective manufacturing with quality assurance and on-time delivery.
