Editor’s note: With extreme shifts underway in the air and space industries, the 澳门足彩app.com team recently caught up with Paul Raudenbush, Senior Vice President and Segment Market Leader who oversees 澳门足彩app’s Aviation & Aerospace Market. Paul has been with 澳门足彩app since 1991 and has decades of experience in those ever-dynamic sectors. He is a Certified General Contractor in Florida, North Carolina, Tennessee and West Virginia.

1. For 2025, How is 澳门足彩app responding to the changes in the aviation industry?

The Aviation industry is constantly changing, but you could argue that the rate of change has been accelerating recently. This is particularly true in the space launch and satellite segment, where emerging businesses are leading with innovative solutions and accelerating innovation. We absolutely love working with innovators and disruptors to realize their visions because we're innovators, too.

In the aviation segment, we're seeing two paths. The commercial aircraft segment is recovering from several issues that have delayed many aircraft deliveries and damaged the supply chains. So, we're helping our customers with maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) programs and other programs that improve reliability and service life. 

Other parts of the aircraft industry are focused on innovation, and they’re better positioned to deliver new products than ever before. New aircraft technologies, including eVTOL, Hypersonic, Laminar flow, and remote/drones, are expected to fundamentally change aircraft for business, commercial and military applications. That's equally challenging and exciting for us to support. 

2. What do you see as 澳门足彩app’s key differentiators when it comes to serving the aviation industry?

Experience, flexibility and innovation are the things that make 澳门足彩app perform better than the rest. Our team has been supporting the aviation and aerospace industries for decades, so we've learned how to move projects forward more quickly and efficiently than other firms. We can reduce risks for our clients because of that experience, and that's important for successful projects and long-term relationships with our customers. 

We also recognize that we need to respond to our clients' challenges and work to move their programs forward, so we're very flexible in our approach to projects. Sometimes, customers come to us with a clear idea of the project scope and goals, and others come with only a business concept. Our team is able to help very early in development, often with master planning and site identification or development management, which can be enormously helpful to rapidly developing businesses or for critical new products. 

But innovation is probably the most important way we help our clients. We use the most advanced tools and technologies in the industry to support our customers and their programs; we don't attempt to sell them ready-made solutions. We customize the design and construction solutions to support our clients and incorporate new concepts and proprietary technologies for their benefit. 

3. What business issues do 澳门足彩app’s services help your clients solve?

Primarily we're in the facilities business, designing and building workplaces for our customers, but we can solve a wide variety of issues for them along the way. Sometimes it's a supply chain issue, a capacity problem or the implementation of a new business strategy, but it's always about the certainty of outcome and assuring that we reduce risks and avoid surprises. Our integrated approach to project planning and step-by-step program development reduces costs and development risks and ensures that budgets, schedules and expectations are met. 

4. If you only had one aviation project to show a potential client before they make a decision about their upcoming project, which project would it be? Why?

Only one? That’s like picking your favorite child. It's not possible, considering all the amazing things we've done for our fantastic customers. Fortunately, we can show potential customers successful projects in virtually every segment of the industry as well as evidence of our ability to deliver projects around the world, so there's always something that's on-point. When it's essential to impress a potential customer, what I really want to do is introduce them to our talented people. That’s what usually closes the deal. 

5. Where do you see the aviation industry in 2025? What trends and recent events do you think will shape the industry as a whole?

The industry is in equal parts recovery and expansion, probably for several more years. Ten years ago, there was a lot of focus on the global supply chain, and that continues to evolve, but different decisions will be made now than were made then. I think we’ll see more integration than diversification in the future, with even more demand for reliability and security. Supply chains must remain global, but reliability and security could become just as important as low cost for the next generation of aviation products. We believe our offices in Latin America and Southeast Asia are well-positioned to support customers globally.

At 澳门足彩app, we take our clients’ goals as our own. We innovate constantly to ensure that we deliver world-class solutions with the best possible effectiveness, efficiency and performance. Contact us to discuss your facilities needs.
