A respected player in the forged products sector for the
engine and airframe market, Manoir Aerospace, acquired
by LISI AEROSPACE Creuzet in June 2014, completes the
Structural Components section, which now represents
about 40% of LISI AEROSPACE’s business. With its 1,100
employees,distributedoverfive industrial sites (3 inFrance,
1 inBelgiumand 1 inMexico), Manoir Aerospace reinforces
the industrial clout of the section, bringing expertise in
digital simulation, forging, machining, hydroforming and
metalmatrixcomposites.
The involvement of the section in the new programs is
strengthened. It ensures not only production of corner
fittings and structural parts for the Airbus range, but also
gears, cones, outlet guide vanes and titanium arms for the
LEAP rangeofengines.
A new industrial site is being created in Parthenay, and
important tools and infrastructure modernization plans
areunderconsideration.Thanks to this technological input,
reinforced by the support of the Group, the Structural
Components section can now supply elementary high
technology components. It thus considerably increases
its chances in Build to Print tendering for technical sub-
assemblies, bringing to bear a raft of cutting edge skills
in metals processing, such as forming, boiler making,
extrusion, forging,machiningandassembly.
