What is the expertise of M&R associates design?
Until recently, private aircraft owners had few options for customizing and composing the equipment on board. Recently, things have changed and the global aeronautics industry has grown significantly. It now offers the opportunity to choose from many luxurious design and equipment solutions thanks to highly skilled aerospace designers. 14 years ago, M&R associates was founded by two, high-skilled men, with more than 25 years of experience each in aircraft design. Later, a third associate joined them by bringing his experience of nearly 30 years in the business aviation and helicopter industry worldwide. The know-how and the experience of those three ambitious men and their complementary backgrounds have allowed the company to expand internationally. M&R has become part of the key players in this sector, not only in Europe, but with customers worldwide (Europe, Middle East, Asia…). Today M&R associates design is considered as one of the major aeronautic companies that specializes in the design of interiors and exteriors of business aircraft. The company is also in charge of loose equipment design, manufacturing of equipment and full completion of projects until their final delivery for both brand new or pre-owner aircraft. The three associates completed projects for every manufacturer and almost every type of business jets aircraft. They are also one of the only design companies referenced by both BOEING and AIRBUS. In the following paragraphs, we will highlight the main activities of this international company.
What are the values of
M&R associates design?
Since its foundation, M&R associates design has been using its guiding values to design unique vehicles, by employing innovative and high quality services and products. Over the past years, M&R associates, recognized as highly qualified designers, have contributed to shape the world and the future of one of the world’s largest aerospace industries.
The M&R’s philosophy is an expression of its values and principles. Its main goals are to protect, connect, inspire and explore the world through aeronautic innovations. The focus of all its employees is to fulfill and exceed every customer’s desires, by creating innovative projects and refining details to reflect his personality and the lifestyle of each owner.
The comfort and the well-being of the passengers are M&R associates design’s main purpose. Also, making each project unique and finding the exclusive materials selection to concretize the customers’ needs are the company’s strength.
The company’s activities
M&R associates design offers several services, always with the aim of designing and customizing an aircraft (new or pre-owned). Among its activities, those are the main ones: the aircraft interior and exterior design, the loose equipment design and manufacturing, and the full project management. The aircraft design is a challenging industry. It requires dozens of different activities, and those activities can be mainly gathered into two types of aircraft designs, which are the interior and the exterior.
The aircraft interior design
It can be defined as the perfect combination of art and science. In general, the aircraft design goes through three stages: conceptual, preliminary, and critical/final design. Currently, it is going through a boom or what we can call a “Golden Era”. The industry has also become smarter and more sophisticated in terms of creating more space and comfort for the passengers. In addition, the private aircraft industry was able to create a restful and solid space, in order to isolate the passengers from the fact they are not on ground but actually inside a plane flying at high altitudes and at very high speed.
Aircraft interior design may sound dubious to certain people, but this is a huge concern to the passengers who are looking for more comfort during their trips. The sector’s actors have made some great efforts concerning the high technological level currently present in the aircraft industry. Consequently, today’s passengers are able to travel during long periods more at ease, without feeling any discomfort or suffering from the lack of humidity and effects of altitude pressure.
M&R associates design puts more efforts to increase their customer’s satisfaction through creating more personalized and luxurious aircraft spaces and more modern design concepts in order to give jets a sleek finish and make them look like one could live there permanently. Whether the customer needs: personalized chairs, desks, bedrooms, dining rooms, entertainment areas, or even a bar; the objective of M&R associates design is always to make an aircraft that matches the client’s desires and life style so that they can enjoy all the activities they enjoy on the ground as well.
The aircraft exterior design
The current trends of aircraft exterior have changed a lot compared to the past years. Nowadays, aircrafts and private jets are making new fashion styles of their own. The challenge today is to offer something less ordinary, where art and creativity merge with functionality.
As companies and private airplane owners invest more in the external appearance, the aircraft exterior design industry is going now on a new level. The exterior design is not only about logos or colors anymore, but it also reflects the customer’s identity. Once the plane goes into the sky, its exterior design serves as a visual ambassador to its user. Just like interiors, M&R associates design treats exteriors with much care like a jewel that need to be polished, because there is no second chance for a first impression as we all know. That is why people who want to create the right first impression pay more attention to their aircraft exterior.
Despite the complex nature of aircrafts, M&R associates design always finds creative solutions to merge innovation with technologies, as they say: “only the sky is the limit”. So in order to fulfill every customer’s needs, M&R associates design team looks into every step of the process, in order to find the perfect technical and artistic solutions, from the initial drawings to the delivery, with a meticulous attention to details.
The loose equipment design
Besides devoting great focus and attention to enhance the cabin experience for customers, M&R associates design takes into account all things that affect the passenger’s comfort and that can make the cabin experience more significantly pleasant. M&R associates design specializes in design and completion of exceptional luxury aircraft loose equipment for a selected clientele. Its design studio has an international reputation for delivering beautiful, unique and sophisticated accessories for those aircraft surroundings. The company combines technology, creation, knowledge and experience in order to design an aircraft cabin with the vision of our customers that are seeking to make their aircraft a distinctive design from the inside and the outside.
Aircraft Completion Management
The aircraft completion management requires a deep understanding of the complex universe of aircraft industry, both technical and design expertise. Most importantly, it requires a strong knowledge of the regulations that govern the aircraft operations, in order to create a personalized and unique aircraft interior. And through years of dealing with aircraft buyers, M&R associates design has managed the completion of basically all types of business aircrafts. The company’s experience of project management includes both refurbishing aircrafts and new completions, plus a full range of VIP services.
M&R associates design assists its customers who have purchased a new or pre-owned aircraft and help them through the whole completion process. For instance, by managing each detail from design to manufacturing and to final acceptance. The company also helps its clients to determine the suitable materials that will be used in the interior.
The completion of projects is a complex process that requires a lot of experience and knowledge. It starts from developing the concept that a customer wants for his aircraft to look like both from the inside and outside. Therefore, this process offers to customers the opportunity for complete customization.
With an overall experience of 25 years in the aircraft industry, M&R associates design provides all the attention needed to every single detail, that no other aircraft completion project company can offer. Not to mention the highly performing customer service that M&R associates design has. Simply because the company believes that the customer service is one of critical importance to its business and considers, it is a key asset to retain clients. M&R loves to please unique and demanding customers in a goal to achieve excellence for their projects.
