The integration of SN Auvergne Aéronautique's sites in 2016 enabled the Group to provide a wide range of solutions in sheet metal parts and in aerospace forming activities. Thus, Figeac Aéro covers the entire aerospace market for the supply of metal parts.
This subsidiary, which uses advanced production equipment, and which has long-standing skills in this field, can produce engineered components in aluminium and hard metals. Its tools include a set of high-power presses, laser cutting equipment, welding solutions and digital quality control using X-rays.
The Group's goal: Industrial excellence
Figeac Aero has implemented a process of continuous improvement for machining conditions (air-conditioned workshops, upgraded cutting tools, raw materials maintenance tools, etc.) and for the conditions of equipment use and operation (employees are trained in the latest technologies, assistance and fine-tuning of innovative machining processes are provided) to maintain and increase its competitive advantage in machining by material removal.
Figeac Aero also upgrades its production processes using connected systems, for example, for traceability and automated flow management.
The Company relies on robotics and cobotics for assembly, fitting, product handling and the visual inspection of parts via automated optical processes.
