Beijing’s New Airport Is Putting Its Trust in Cleaning Machines from Aebi Schmidt Group

Aebi Schmidt Holding AG will supply Beijing Daxing International Airport with a total of 34 cleaning machines by June 2019. The contract highlights the group’s ambitious growth plans in the international airport sector.

The order includes 14 Schmidt jet sweepers that will be used to keep the runways and taxiways clear of snow and ice. These will be complemented by 4 high-speed sweepers from the Schmidt brand for cleaning operating and traffic areas in both summer and winter.

Aebi Schmidt will also deliver 16 machines from the M-B brand, which are highly maneuverable thanks to a brush on the front and a fan at the rear.

“A huge honor for Aebi Schmidt”
The machines ordered will be produced at the German factory in St. Blasien and in the North American factory in Wisconsin.

“We’re very proud that Beijing Daxing International Airport is making use of Aebi Schmidt’s machines,” says Barend Fruithof, CEO of Aebi Schmidt Holding. “It’s a real honor for us. The order affirms our ambition to continue our expansion in the global airport sector.”

The contract for Beijing Daxing International Airport is an excellent reference for the Asian market, which has huge potential for growth. The company’s success with the contract also shows how well the products of M-B Companies, acquired in July 2018, complement Aebi Schmidt’s machines. M-B Companies is the leading U.S. manufacturer of snow removal and cleaning machines in the airport sector.

“This is the first joint business deal since the acquisition of M-B Companies,” says Mr. Fruithof. “We are delighted to have achieved this so soon after the merger. It will motivate us to continue our expansion in the airport sector together with M-B Companies.”
