The new Parthenay plant building in the Deux-Sèvres is home
to the production of the outlet guide vanes of LEAP engines
developed by Safran Aircraft Engines and General Electric. It is
here, on this 4,500 sq.m. plant, that LISI AEROSPACE has
installed its first machining lines for closed door machining.
Automatically supplied with parts and tools by a robotic arm,
these highly sophisticated pieces of equipment can run around
the clock, limiting night staffing and weekend work. These
rates, which are necessary to support the ramp-up of these
new product lines, have made it possible to quickly reach the
expected level of profitability.
