From the Zeppelin to the airplane

From the Zeppelin to the airplane – decades of innovation in aviation.

From the very beginning, we have developed ANKER’s aviation solutions specifically to meet the demands of the aviation industry. We always take comfort, quality, and sustainability a step further—from textile flooring to matching accessories.

Lufthansa recognized as early as the 1960s that ANKER could set new standards in this field. Since then, we have continuously refined our textile solutions for the aviation industry and created innovations that define new standards.

One example: As early as 2011, we were the first to use Econyl® yarn for ANKER aviation carpets—an important step toward sustainable aviation.

“Every day, we create innovations by further developing individual customer requests or proven qualities.” (Nina Leonhard, Product Development/Design)

In doing so, we combine proven quality with forward-thinking ideas:

  • Use of sustainable materials such as Econyl® since 2011
  • Development in accordance with the highest aviation safety standards
  • Certification according to EN ISO 9100
  • Custom solutions for the requirements of modern aircraft interiors
