history
On February 7, 1961, representatives of the Federal Ministry of Defense and the industrial management company (IVG) met in Bonn to decide to found a company to operate a plant center. In March 1961, Federal Defense Minister Franz Josef Strauss approved the establishment, whereupon the new company finally started operations on June 1, 1961. Dr.-Ing. Klaus Kopfermann appointed. Kopfermann, a grandson of aviation pioneer Otto Lilienthal , was previously a manager at Bölkow Developments KG . As a test and analysis center financed by the Federal Republic of Germany, IABG should be available to the entire German aviation industry as an industry-independent company.
An early major project in 1973 was the total cell fatigue test on the first Airbus model , the Airbus A300 . Large-scale tests on the European Ariane 5 rocket began in 1992 . In 1993 the company was privatized and is now run by its owners. One of the best-known projects is the total cell fatigue test on the Airbus A380 , which IABG carried out from 2004 to 2012 at the Dresden location . In 2019, IABG employed around 1,000 people at 12 German and international locations with a total turnover of 215.4 million euros.
On September 22nd, 2006, there was a serious accident at the Transrapid test facility in Emsland with 23 fatalities. In its role as the Transrapid operating company, IABG had to answer for this incident. The cause of the accident was human error.
In 2014, secret documents stolen by Edward Snowden revealed that the British secret service GCHQ had attempted to hack an IABG satellite ground station.
