You can contact our customer care department to coordinate a personal consultation meeting and begin planning your new aircraft image today.

Material Selection

The materials selected for your interior, whether in flooring, wall panels, seat covers, or curtains is critical to ensuring a long-lived attractive appearance for your cabin. With so many vendors in this market offering an overwhelming range of products, it may seem impossible to put together just the right blend of materials for your new image program, much less be sure you are getting the best price and best quality.

Hoover Industries has been working with the finest mills, tanneries and trim providers in the market since 1955. We know who provides the most reliable product, and what product will ideally suit your image and goals. Because we are independent of the suppliers, we are able to purt this knowledge to work in your best interest. Put the decades of experience and insight to work for you by hiring Hoover Industries as your own personal image advisor. Contact our customer care department to coordinate a personal consultation with a Hoover Industries Interiors Expert dedicated to fulfilling your goals in the best way, right away.

Pattern Development

Just like the finest tailors in the world are committed to developing stiles unique and flattering to their savvy clientele, so does Hoover Industry specialize in tailoring items that are uniquely and ideally suited to each dressed item of your cabin. Unlike the many "cut & sew" shops that proliferate the industry, Hoover Industries develops new patterns for each customer program, ensuring that the fit our client receives is the best possible for their seat structure, curtain, or wall panel.

But the attention to detail doesn't stop there, patterns developed for clients are kept in house indefinitely so that they are available at any time that spares may be required for the on-going maintenance of the interior. Each and every part produced by Hoover Industries is guaranteed to be within tolerance of the patterns that were developed for the client regardless of how many years pass between the original build and the spares requirement. When you work with Hoover Industries expertise, you can be assured of the ideal fit on you first unit and on your 100,000 unit.

If you are interested in having Hoover Industries tailors get to work on shaping up your cabin, you can contact our customer care department to schedule an immediate fleet analysis.

Prototyping

Whether you are a designer seeking a skilled manufacturing partner to realize your design vision for a client, a seat structure manufacturer seeking to bring a new product to market, or an airline looking to realize your new image as a prototype before release you will need it done well and you need it done quickly. Relying on local "cut & sews" is hit-and-miss. You need a partner who knows how to get it done right the first time, and every time.

Because of our extensive knowledge and our wide base of craftsmen we are able to bring even the most complex of designs to life. Contact our customer care department to be connected to get started on prototyping your new image today!

Certification

No interiors image, no matter how attractive or innovative, can make it in the air without a capable and knowledgeable team working on the material selection and composition requirements to certify it.

Many of the finest innovations in interiors programs end up being scrapped because the airline engineering team may not have the knowledge or the resources to make the program work.

Hoover Industries is familiar with a wide variety of materials options and can select the materials and combinations of components that are most likely to succeed in bringing your interiors vision to flight. When you need a knowledgeable partner to help your visions come to life you can count on us. Contact us today to get started!

First Article Development

The First Article Check of your new Interior is a critical part of the process of a new image program implementation. Too often airlines are left alone with the OEM to muddle through the questions and issues that arise before the first aircraft can take off decked out in the new image scheme.

Hoover Industries is unique in our ability to provide you with direct personal support during the First Article Check of your seating program. Your dedicated program manager will be there with you in person, to address questions and make any necessary last minute adjustments, so that you can rely on all future aircraft being as attractive as the first.

Don't face another First Article Inspection alone, call us today, and we'll immediately assign you a program manager to help.

Fabrication of Recurring Requirements

Most anyone can cut and sew. If making the soft goods of an aircraft cabin work were as easy as only knowing those two steps, then airlines wouldn't be facing the headaches they face today in establishing and maintaining an attractive cabin. There is much more to consider: materials, patterns, application, maintenance, and warranties, to name only a few. When you want an interior image that fits the first time and looks good everytime, you need a manufacturing expert with decades of experience on your side..you need Hoover Industries. Contact us to have a dedicated program manager assigned to you today.

MIN/MAX

What is MIN/MAX? It is a stocking program available to you from Hoover Industries, to ensure that the product you need most is available to you when you need it most without requiring you to hold excess inventory in your stocks. We will build and hold you inventory for you, at no additional cost to you.

Establishing a MIN/MAX program with Hoover Industries is simple. If you've already purchased product from Hoover Industries previously we will likely have the information on your purchasing patterns already on file to assist you with optimizing the value and usefulness of MIN/MAX. But even if you haven't purchased from Hoover Industries prior, the program can be easily set up.

A Hoover Industries representative will work closely with you to determine MINimum and MAXimum stock quantity of the product you require. Once the settings have been agreed upon, then Hoover Industries begins to build an initial stock of the product to get you started. This initial set up lead time is dependent on the availability of the materials for the products you selected, but can be done in as little as two weeks.

Once your stock is initialized, then you can count on having the MINimum quantity of the materials you have on contract with us available to you as quickly as same day for all orders received by 11:00 am ET, and no later than the following day for orders received later than 11:00 am ET. Requirements in excess of your MINimum established quantities will be available within two weeks of receipt of your order.

With MIN/MAX support, you have no need to carry excess inventory on hand for those unexpected requirements. After all, MIN/MAX allows us to MINimize your inventory burdens, and MAXimize your flexibility with our parts.
