INDUSTRY TEAMING
The development and production of Stavatti aerospace vehicles results from the combined efforts of STAVATTI INDUSTRY TEAMS. These Industry Teams are composed of qualified first, second, third, forth and fifth tier aerospace partners. Ranging from long-time established US DoD prime contractors to Small Disadvantaged Businesses, Stavatti industry partners are ISO 9000/9001/9002 certified or equivalent leaders within their field.
Industry partners are US domestic and foreign companies located in allied nations worldwide and include Canadian, German, Swiss, French, Italian, British, Swedish, Japanese, Korean, Taiwanese and Israeli contractors. As Stavatti develops aerospace vehicles as commercial ventures, industry team members are hand-picked from the very best suppliers worldwide at the earliest stages of product concept development. Often selected for their unique expertise, Stavatti contracts team members to design and produce custom parts, components and subsystems for specific aerospace vehicles while also contracting the furnishing of Military-Off-The-Shelf (MOTS) and Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) systems and hardware from these suppliers.
Anticipated Stavatti Industry Team members for specific aerospace vehicle programs are listed on individual webpages. To learn about anticipated Industry Teams associated with a specific Stavatti aerospace vehicle program, visit the individual team website by following the appropriate hyperlink:

Stavatti is continuously selecting industry team members to participate in aerospace vehicle development and manufacturing programs throughout the various stages of the program life-cycle. If you represent an industry leading aerospace prime contractor, subcontractor or proven Small Disadvantaged Business and you believe your products are the best in their class, then you belong on our industry team.
Potential industry team members should be enterprises with at least ten years experience in the aerospace defense industry. Stavatti does prefer small businesses to large contractors as we require personal attention. Stavatti programs require a great amount of forward thinking and a desire to work hard and try new things. Approximately 80% of the systems Stavatti obtains from vendors are proven, current production, off-the-shelf systems with a history of program success, or cutting-edge derivatives of proven systems. The remaining 20% consists of entirely unique, customized systems for Stavatti applications that must be built precisely for Stavatti requirements.
Stavatti is not impressed by team member implementation of Kaisen or Six Sigma. We are impressed by the kinds of systems you already have flying and whether or not they regularly fail. Stavatti is impressed by your ability to deliver on-time and at cost. Stavatti hand-picks all of our subcontractors and we will employ firm fixed contracts. Working with Stavatti means you are working with a company that designs in a CATIA-CADM PLM environment which is heading towards a paperless environment. Stavatti focuses upon the use of FEA and CFD modeling as well as a reasonable quantity of wind tunnel testing to obtain GOOD DATA. Stavatti builds hard, full-scale mock-ups and produces conformal prototypes from the onset. Stavatti embraces Risk With Certainty. Stavatti is very interested in improving aerospace vehicle quality, capability and general design. To reduce the burden to subcontractors, Stavatti does not engage in Just-In-Time practices but rather recognizes the value of the strategic warehousing of specialized components. If you are a firm that is developing products or has a product which can help dramatically improve air and space vehicles, we want to meet you regardless of prior aerospace experience.
Stavatti does prefer new industry team members to have proven and established aerospace products as well as internal corporate accounting and management systems capable of implementing all FAR compliance, FAA compliance and ITAR compliance needs. Potential Industry team members should have an existing DoD facility security clearance or be capable of qualifying for a facility security clearance. Foreign potential team members must be incorporated in and conduct all business from a NATO member nation or alternate US ally. Stavatti conducts all business correspondence in the English Language and uses English/US Standard Metrics.
The best way to introduce your capabilities to Stavatti is to send us an email or package by mail complete with a letter of introduction stating who you are, where you are, what you make/do, what other aerospace vehicle/defense programs your products are flying on, and what you believe you can contribute to the Stavatti team/bring to the table. Include brochures and product literature. We are more impressed by engineering documents than boilerplate marketing materials.
