Fourth extension
for Dorval
In 2005, LISI AEROSPACE launched the construction of a new
“greenfield” factory at Dorval, (Quebec, Canada) with a team
of 70 people. Ten years later, LISI AEROSPACE Canada employs
more than 300 employees, has four plants and has sales figures
for business turnover greater than 50 million dollars. For the
aircraft manufacturers, engine manufacturers and OEMs, this
site now constitutes a major industrial center on all the world
markets, both in North America as well as in Europe.
Large diameter screws
Specialized until 2014 in large diameter parts and the critical
items made from alloy steel with high resistance, LISI
AEROSPACE Canada has extended its area of its manufacturing
footprint and product range. A fourth factory, created in 2015
and dedicated to the production of large diameter screws
made out of titanium, marks a new stage in the expansion of
this unique ensemble. This new activity, which represents a
significant investment, should allow for strengthening LISI
AEROSPACE’s presence in the US market and accelerate the
development of its Canadian subsidiary.

Parts without tooling
thanks to 3D
The creation, with Poly-Shape, of a joint venture specializing in 3D
printing is a real competitive advantage for LISI AEROSPACE (also
read Pg.31). In its infancy, this technology allows for producing parts
without tooling, by limiting the input of raw materials. The first areas
of application are related to the production of prototypes, spare parts or
complex single parts. With its partner, LISI AEROSPACE is now working
to ensure the removal of the remaining obstacles to the development of
this innovative technique: dissemination of the designmethodologies for
parts (Design for Additive Manufacturing); normalization of the powders
and standardization of the processes of certification of the parts and
finally, the development of an industrial Supply Chain, able to deliver
finished parts while complying with the quality-cost- service constraints.
In brief
€ 2 billion of contracts
in 2015
LISI AEROSPACE has renewed, in 2015, nearly
€2 billion of commercial contracts for a period of
between five to eight years. Solidly positioned on
the programs of the future, the LISI AEROSPACE
division is benefiting from the investment policy
conducted in recent years by the Group, to resize
and to optimize its industrial tool as well as to
strengthen its research capabilities.
Airbus Best Performer Award
