Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Aerospace Report
We are happy to present you the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Aerospace report
issued IN COLLABORATION WITH GLOBAL BUSINESS REPORT!
Combining the Cluster’s aerospace network and the access Global Business Reports has to the international executives, makes this report a key way to communicate the know-how the region presents to a global audience in time for the growth period. For each of us GBR offers an effective means to secure the best visibility to connect with global decision-makers and support the initiative of this report.

Jocelyn Lardet – INDUSTRIAL DIRECTOR, JET CUT
“The main benefit is the reduction of material waste which occurs because our technology is able to cut materials of any shape and thickness using nesting optimisation. An additional benefit is to avoid causing any damage where the cut is made. We do not change the structure of the material that we use, whereas techniques like laser or plasma cutting drastically alter the properties of the material at the place of the incision. » |

Michael Niemaz – KEY ACCOUNT MANAGER AEROSPACE, MDP- MAXON MOTOR FRANCE
“We are currently recruiting to grow our engineering department in order to increase our capacity to develop customized system solutions for the aerospace industry. There is an increasing demand for our services, and we want to be ready to meet it. » |
“The region boasts a strong offering to the aerospace industry, as it is home to a large number of thriving Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers for OEMs, as well as many SMEs offering more niche products … The region is a hub not only for industrial activity, but for research, design, and innovation. »
“Our current R&D strategy is to focus on developing truly innovative products that no other company can offer. We are also working on developing some technologies which are widely used in the automotive industry for application in the aerospace industry, for example hydroforming. » 
“We look to develop the company further and increase our turnover by attracting new customers and developing more capabilities, such as manufacturing hard metals’ very complex parts. »
“Current research focus is developing composite process solutions that are specifically adapted to meet the technical needs of the aerospace industry, such as those that can be repeatedly exposed to extreme temperatures without suffering a deterioration in quality or performance.”
“We have been focusing on obtaining as much supply as we can so that we can service our customers quickly and efficiently, and we have an inventory of about 500 tonnes of titanium, which means that we are able to deliver orders within a week. »
“We are working towards becoming a global player in the aeronautics supply chain through our technical expertise in the processing of thermoplastic composites and our high investment in innovation. »
“The pressure to bring our prices down presents us with a challenge, but one that drives us to improve our operations year on year. We focus on having first-class production quality, because we actually find that our customers are willing to pay a little more for our products. »
“The internet of things, in terms of aeronautics, remains a broad field to be explored and developed. Whereas in the past we would build patches to be connected to existing systems, now we need to integrate those systems directly into the materials we are using. We are working towards a method where the intelligence is all built directly into the systems themselves. »
We are focusing on developing composite solutions which are more complete, so that we can replace several metallic parts with one composite part, which saves on production costs as well as weight within the aircraft. »
“The capabilities of our simulation software are very advanced. Thanks to the expertise of our engineering team, we are able to represent the flows of materials and pieces, in 2D & 3D, and build all the KPIs needed for decision making. In just a few minutes, we are able to simulate several months of production“
“Electronics are the way forward! Centum Adeneo is an emerging player in the industry, with some very unique capabilities, not just from a technical standpoint but also in terms of our business model and presence.“ … “We are optimistic about potential opportunities that will be created by Airbus and Boeing’s“
“The contributions that our students will make to their employers are significant, because we have already bridged the gap between the high level of theoretical knowledge that students have after graduation, and the industrial experience that they need to succeed and excel in the workplace. »
