About

Since its founding, Abipa International has built a strong reputation as a Quebec aerospace integrator capable of meeting the most demanding requirements of the world's leading OEMs. The headquarters is located in Boisbriand, in Greater Montreal, one of the largest aerospace clusters in North America. The company employs more than 450 people across six specialized production sites. On the technical side, Abipa operates state-of-the-art 4 and 5-axis CNC machining centers dedicated to complex parts in aluminum, titanium, high-strength steels, Inconel and nickel-based alloys. Its shops also cover mechanical assembly, riveting, sealing, coating application and the coordination of surface treatments through a network of certified suppliers. Markets served are primarily aerospace: civil and military engines, airframes, nacelles, landing gear and mechanical systems for commercial, regional and defense programs. Abipa also acts as a supply-chain integrator for its customers, managing sourcing, supplier quality and just-in-time delivery of complete sub-assemblies. Key differentiators include AS9100 certification, close proximity to Quebec's leading OEMs, deep expertise in exotic materials, distributed production capacity across complementary sites, and a quality system recognized for delivering zero-defect performance on critical programs. For OEMs seeking a reliable, agile partner deeply embedded in the North American aerospace ecosystem, Abipa offers a breadth of capabilities that is uncommon for a supplier of its size.

Products

Composants d'aéromoteur

Nous produisons par usinage de précision des composants critiques pour les aéromoteurs. Notre expertise couvre une gamme de matériaux spécialisés requis pour les environnements à haute performance des moteurs d'avions.

Abipa International manufactures a broad range of aero-engine components for civil and military gas turbines. These parts include vanes, casings, rings, brackets, flanges and structural elements of the hot and cold section, exposed to extreme temperature, pressure and vibration conditions. Manufacturing relies on high-precision 5-axis CNC centers capable of machining demanding materials such as Inconel, titanium, Waspaloy and various heat-resistant steels. Every part meets very tight dimensional and geometric tolerances and undergoes rigorous inspection, including tomography, dye penetrant checks and non-destructive testing, in accordance with AS9100 and OEM specifications. Applications cover high-volume commercial engine programs, regional aircraft turbines, helicopters and military engines. Abipa also produces critical parts for long-duration MRO programs where traceability and reliability must be impeccable. Benefits include proven expertise in high-performance materials, dedicated industrial capacity, a quality discipline recognized by the world's leading engine OEMs, and an integrated supply chain able to deliver complete ready-to-mount sub-assemblies with strong cost and schedule predictability — a meaningful advantage for any engine program manager.

Composants de nacelle

Abipa International fabrique et assemble des composants structuraux et des sous-ensembles pour les nacelles de moteurs d'avion. Nous maîtrisons l'usinage de pièces complexes qui composent ces systèmes aérodynamiques.

Nacelle components manufactured by Abipa include the structural and functional parts surrounding and supporting aircraft engines: frames, acoustic panels, thrust reverser supports, engine mount fittings and fairing elements. These parts must combine light weight, mechanical strength and high-temperature resistance. The company uses a combination of 5-axis machining, precision forming, mechanical assembly and coordination of surface treatments (anodizing, high-performance painting, sealing). Common materials include aerospace aluminum alloys, titanium, Inconel and high-strength steels. Inspections incorporate 3D metrology, dye penetrant testing and tomography to guarantee the integrity of every part. Applications cover nacelles for narrow-body and wide-body commercial engines, as well as selected regional and military programs. Abipa works directly with engine OEMs and nacelle integrators to deliver ready-to-integrate sub-assemblies. Benefits include recognized expertise in integrating complex parts, AS9100 quality, just-in-time delivery aligned with OEM production rates, and the ability to support both new product introduction (NPI) and serial production — securing the supply chain for airframers and engine integrators across multiple aircraft families.

Composants d'aérostructure

Nous sommes un fournisseur de composants d'aérostructure usinés et assemblés, incluant des pièces pour le fuselage, les ailes et l'empennage. Notre production respecte les standards de qualité les plus élevés de l'aéronautique.

Airframe components produced by Abipa include spars, ribs, fittings, machined panels, brackets and joining parts used in the construction of fuselages, wings and empennages for commercial, regional and business aircraft. These parts directly contribute to airframe integrity and must meet strict weight, strength and tolerance specifications. Abipa operates large-capacity machining centers to process long, complex parts in aerospace aluminum (7000 and 2000 series), titanium and high-strength steels. The company has mastered high-speed machining (HSM), thin-wall machining and final assembly operations including riveting, sealing, precision drilling and coating application. These components equip commercial, regional, business and military aircraft programs, delivered build-to-print for OEMs or in collaboration with major Tier 1 partners. Abipa also supports both serial production programs and transition runs. Benefits include supplier base reduction through delivery of sub-assemblies, AS9100-compliant quality, excellent dimensional repeatability and proven expertise on the complex geometries typical of modern airframes — directly translating into lower integration risk for the OEM and faster ramp-ups on new programs.

Beyond machining, Abipa International offers an integrated complex assembly and supply-chain management service for aerospace OEMs that want to reduce the number of supplier interfaces and delegate delivery of complete sub-assemblies. The process covers raw-material sourcing and procurement of complementary parts, coordination of heat treatments, surface treatments and non-destructive testing through certified suppliers, mechanical assembly (riveting, bolting, sealing, coating application) and final testing. Abipa drives supplier quality, AS9100 documentary traceability and just-in-time deliveries throughout. Typical deliverables include airframe sub-assemblies, nacelle modules, engine kits and MRO kits, delivered ready to integrate at the customer. Sectors served cover commercial, regional, business and military aerospace, on growth as well as stabilization programs. Benefits include a smaller managed-supplier footprint for the customer, delivery cadences aligned with final assembly, increased visibility on quality and traceability, optimized logistics costs and a single partner able to act as an operational extension of the OEM's own industrial teams.
