FIT AG is the first company in Europe to include deconstruction in the scope of EN 9100

Lupburg, April 2025 – FIT AG is once again setting standards in industrial innovation: it is the first company in Europe to have its deconstruction manufacturing process successfully included in the scope of EN 9100.

What may seem paradoxical at first glance – deconstruction as part of an aerospace quality management system – is the result of over four years of research, pioneering spirit, and an excellent team. The foundations for this were laid between 2000 and 2024 in the research project “BROLIGHT” (BROken LIGHT) together with the Technical University of Munich and the Fraunhofer IGD in Darmstadt.

The method: an algorithm-controlled distortion of Hilbert spaces allows the geometry-forming triangular structures of technical objects to be manipulated. In combination with additive manufacturing, complex mirror objects are created that interact with their environment in a completely new way – visually, structurally, energetically.

“Now it is up to industry to integrate these new possibilities into their products,” explains Lars Langhans, Head of Aerospace and Defense at FIT AG. ”Deconstruction is not a step backwards – it is the next step.”

A milestone of this magnitude also requires strong support: Together with Hagen Hoch, a consultant at TQC-Management GmbH, an auditing process was designed that was uncharted territory even for the experienced auditors at TÜV Nord – successfully mastered.

“I am very proud of my team at FIT,” emphasizes Carl Fruth, CEO of FIT AG. “What we have achieved here is more than a certification – it is a statement of radical innovation.”
