Sustainable Development policy

CRMA’s policy is aligned with the AIR FRANCE KLM group’s overall Sustainable Development policy.

As a result, at CRMA we see environmental protection as a fundamental duty. Committed for the past decade to a program of continuous improvement to minimize our environmental footprint, recognized by the award of ISO 14001 certification, CRMA is committed to:

Strictly complying with regulatory requirements. In 2011, CRMA is to implement Préventeo Environnement, a software package used to track changes in the regulatory environment and carry out legal requirement compliance audits in the field of environmental protection.
Integrating environmental management in preliminary studies by investing in a “zero on-site discharge” wastewater treatment plant, with financial assistance from the Seine-Normandie Water Agency.
Implementing a continuous improvement process by reducing VOC (volatile organic compound) emissions, and of acetone in particular, and also by organizing an annual environmental accident simulation exercise.
Overseeing commitment by suppliers and sub-contractors by looking into packaging that meets the requirements of CRMA and AIR FRANCE KLM Group environmental policies to minimize waste with respect to expired products.
Raising awareness in-house about greater environmental friendliness by implementing local indicators.

Safety Policy

Safety Policy is a central concern in maintenance and therefore for CRMA, as is the safety of our workforce. Occupational safety is a value shared by all our staff. It is an integral part of day-to-day operations throughout the company. To this end, CRMA’s General Management has deployed an Occupational Health and Safety policy based on cooperation and initiative and on cross-functional cooperation between different departments.

1957
CRMA was founded in Issy-les-Moulineaux on the southern edge of Paris, taking over the business activities of engine manufacturer Salmson and the Voisin aircraft manufacturing company, and entering the promising market for military aircraft maintenance.

1978
UTA acquired all CRMA’s maintenance activities and its personnel. At that time, CRMA began operating in the civil aviation manufacturing and maintenance market.

1991
AIR FRANCE acquired UTA. CRMA continued to operate in the field of civil and military aircraft maintenance. Taking advantage of the additional work from Air France, CRMA expanded its range of component-based products.

1992
CRMA moved to new premises in Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines, near Versailles, equipped with sophisticated maintenance facilities that would allow it to develop in three directions:

Engine module repairs,
Engine parts reconditioning,
Component overhauls.

At that time, CRMA opened up to the wider market, and signed up its first third-party customers.

1993
CRMA was appointed official repair center for all Air France fleet braking systems, and began marketing CF6-50 component repair services.

1998
Air France Industries designated CRMA as a “Center of Excellence” for its GE and CFMI engine module and component repair services.

2005
CRMA repaired its first GE90 engine components.

2006
CRMA geared up to offer module and component repairs on the GP7200 engines equipping the Airbus A380.

2009
A contract signed with GE AES saw CRMA become a “Primary Source” for GP7200 combustion chambers and TCF (Turbine Center Frame) modules. CRMA thus became sole supplier worldwide for this type of repairs. The two sub-systems were added to and extended CRMA Very Big Engine (VBE) repair capabilities.

2010
CRMA refocused its organization on Customer Care with three new business units: Engineering & Production, Supply Chain, and Support Functions. In overhauling the first TCF (Turbine Center Frame) of a GP7200 engine for GE AES, CRMA became a key player in MRO services for this powerplant.

2011
CRMA won approval from GE to repair GE90-94 combustion chambers.
