Germany’s technological lead – a fairy tale, at least since 1912!

In mid-July 2024 we had the opportunity to visit McFarlane Aviation LLC in Baldwin City, Kansas. Even the company’s founder, David McFarlane, took the opportunity to show us his impressive company as part of a factory tour.

What does the company do? It is a diversified manufacturing company that specializes in providing affordable, high-quality FAA-PMA components. In addition to an extensive line of high-quality FAA-PMA replacement parts, offer a complete line of customer-designed and OEM products, including door and flight control cables, push-pull controls, cargo and seat rails, and many other unique products for the broader aerospace community.

As part of our global practice, we often hear about the supposed “superiority” of German technology.

Those of you who also work internationally can probably only smile wearily right now.

Anyone who believes that Germany is a “leader” in some area should reconsider their view – this may have been correct in 1912, but should be updated now by looking to the US or Asia. Nowadays, German can pride themselves of being global champions of recycling household waste – with scientifically proven almost zero impact on a global level… Many thanks to our great German government for this “amazing achievement”, well done!

A reason to be sad in Germany? No way – but a reason to learn from others corporate groups and work hard again without being high-browed, for instance in the US.

Dr. Ebner has been impressed by McFarlane – a highly modern company that will also make its way in global competition! We would like to thank David in particular, but also the entire McFarlane team for the great meeting in Baldwin City!

Our law firm prides itself to have several modern aviation companies as valued clients from all over the world.

If you are interested in the global aviation industry/it´s future and especially in the US market – then you have come to the right place and we should get to know each other right away!
