Global Capabilities
From aviation and defense to child and specialty vehicle restraints, AmSafe's state-of-the-art engineering capabilities can be recognized by the depth and breadth of its product offering.
The engagement process begins with a thorough understanding of the customers' requirements. A disciplined program management ensures priorities and activities are tightly controlled. Global engineering capabilities include the latest in CAD techniques and 3-D solid modelling (Catia V5 and SolidWorks), test simulation and material and prototype testing. A special non-linear dynamic analysis package, PAMCRASH, is also utilized that's specific to aviation textile products.
From raw textile to finished product, a team of engineers conduct thorough testing, from analysis to documentation, to ensure the safety and integrity of all AmSafe products. Along with dynamic and prototype testing, tensile strength, endurance, flammability, corrosion, smoke, toxicity, susceptibility to fluids and substances, temperature and humidity are also measured, and more.
From each of its global locations in United States, United Kingdom, China and Sri Lanka, AmSafe has the design, engineering and manufacturing capabilities to provide customers with the resources necessary to meet their most stringent requirements.
History
In 1955, one of the predecessors to AmSafe, Cummings & Sanders, was granted a patent for a metal-to-metal buckle. The seatbelt industry was born.
Through a combination of exceptional internal growth and a few select strategic acquisitions, AmSafe has become the world's largest supplier of pilot, crew and passenger restraints for the aviation market. In 1997, AmSafe developed the first aviation seatbelt airbag system, which took its first flight in 2001, and is now flying on more than 100 commercial airlines and is standard equipment on over eighty-five percent of the world's general aviation aircraft. Continuing with its innovations, in 2006 AmSafe received the first FAA approval for a child restraint system designed specifically for use on airplanes during all phases of flight.
Leadership
AmSafe has a team of professionals who bring a wealth of experience and vision to the entire organization.
The management staff is key to making and keeping AmSafe positioned as the world leader, and in maintaining its professional global identity. Together, they strive to exceed the expectations of both customers and employees.
