BEIJING, Sept. 23 (Xinhuanet) -- A Dutch firm has linked up with the Shenyang Aircraft Corp to develop and manufacture commercial and civil airplane parts.

An agreement was signed in Beijing yesterday with the Stork Aerospace company Stork Fokker .

The Shenyang Aircraft Corp has advantages in such things as tool design and assembly production. Stork Fokker's advantages include programme management and fibre/metal laminates.

By sharing these benefits, both companies expect new opportunities by delivering an excellent price/quality ratio and extending production capacity, said Henk Valk, executive vice-president of Stork Aerospace.

The established positions of both companies in different markets and businesses are key elements of the partnership.

"Both parties had complementary capabilities, thereby offering the potential to create a lasting partnership," said Valk, adding that there would be mutual benefits.

Li Fangyong, chairman and president of the Shenyang Aircraft Corp, said the collaboration placed the two parties in a position to better serve customers in terms of capabilities and quality.

The two companies have already formed project teams with members from both sides participating in managerial and technical tasks.

The Shenyang Aircraft Corp is one of the main aircraft manufacturers under the China Aviation Industry Corp I. It supplies commercial airplane parts to leading aircraft manufacturers such as Boeing and Airbus.

Stork Aerospace (the Netherlands) develops and produces advanced parts and systems for the aviation and aerospace industry. It also supplies integrated services and products to aircraft owners.
