CUSTOMER STORY
Six years ago we realised that we could not continue as we were and grow our business. We reseached and
investigated various computerised cutting machines. In our opinion Pathfinder came out streets ahead of anything else.
Flight Interiors soars to new heights with Pathfinder
Auckland (NZ) based business Flight Interiors, has been supplying premium aircraft interior cabin upholstery and furnishing for over 25 years.
The company has an outstanding reputation for innovation, integrity and quality and over the years has created and stored thousands of patterns for all types of aircraft.
Previously, these patterns were made from cardboard and stored or achived in a pattern room. When required, they would retrieve them – if they had been filed properly. Then the templates would be traced and the material cut by hand.
