The Aircraft Interiors Expo (AIX) opens its doors from April 14 to 16, 2026 in the Hamburg exhibition halls. As a lightweight construction specialist within the Masterflex Group, we will be presenting our connection solutions for the aviation industry in Hall B6 / Stand F80.
Researchers and aircraft manufacturers around the world are working to make flying more energy-efficient and quieter in the future. With our lightweight components, we have been helping aircraft manufacturers achieve more energy-efficient and quieter flight for many years.
The main sources of cabin noise are the engine, the landing gear, the high-lift systems, flow-induced noise on the fuselage, the hydraulic system—and the air conditioning system. Our noise insulation hoses are used wherever warm and cold air circulates. Thanks to their unique material blend and special construction, they significantly reduce the noise generated by the air conditioning system.

We can look back with pride on 100 years of company history: In 1925, the two businessmen Oscar Matzen and Otto Timm founded the company in Hamburg - initially as an export company. Today, Matzen & Timm is a long-standing and certified partner of the aviation industry. We look forward to the next 100 years and to continuing to be a reliable and important part of the aviation industry!
The new ABS 1170 silencer hose from Matzen & Timm significantly reduces the noise in an aircraft's air conditioning system: the noise level caused by ventilation can be reduced by up to 30 decibels by using the ABS 1170. This is made possible by the special design of the hose - and the use of special acoustic fleece. After successful qualification, the hose can be used in the cabin or in the cockpit area.
Our products are characterized by their very low weight, high flexibility, high temperature resistance, outstanding manufacturing quality and needs-based design. At the AIX we show

Matzen & Timm is a long-standing and certified development partner of the aviation industry and supplies parts for all types of aircraft.
Every day, we meet the high demands placed on the material, performance, service life, safety and quality of each individual component for the aviation industry. In addition to large series orders, we develop, manufacture and qualify prototypes or pre-series according to customer-specific requirements, test special parts and manufacture hoses, molded parts and bellows especially for small and medium series sizes.
We regularly and successfully participate in certifications and audits and have all relevant approvals and qualifications - including EN 9100:2016 (equivalent to AS 9100D and JISQ 9100:2016, including ISO 9001:2015). This certification corresponds to the QSF-C of the German Aerospace Industries Association (BDLI).
