THE PLANT 4.0 AT THE HEART
OF THE TERRITORY
LISI AEROSPACE was feeling somewhat constrained in the buildings
it has been occupying since 1939. Now it enjoys the comfort of new
buildings in the business area of La Glèbe. The last phase of the works,
with a surface area of 10,500m
2
, will be completed in early 2019 andwill
add up to the first phase, with the same surface area (in service since
2016). LISI takes advantage of this transfer to make a technological
and organizational leap and thus create a 4.0 tool: optimization of
flows, implementation of on-line machines, robotization, closed loop
machining, etc. More than 700 pieces of equipment have been moved
or installed for this project. Buoyed by an investment of €30 million,
the initiative helps maintain jobs in the region. LISI AEROSPACE has
35 local partners.
PARTHENAY
/ NOUVELLE-AQUITAINE
3 AUTONOMOUS
PRODUCTION UNITS
Established in Par thenay, in the Deux-Sèvres, since 1984,
LISI AEROSPACE employs 238 people. A local player in this region
where the metallurgical industry is strongly represented, the division
has chosen to establish a 3
rd
autonomous production unit of 7,000 m
2
with the support of the Nouvelle-Aquitaine Region and the State.
The complex will house a research and development center and will
focus on hard metal machining, polishing, superfinishing and the
development of new technological models. It should allow for the
creation of 80 jobs by 2021, including highly skilled for the R&D center.

HEADING TOWARDS THE
DELLE OF THE FUTURE
The LISI AUTOMOTIVE plant at Delle, located in the heart of
the Group’s territory; was the last of the Group’s 5 Franche-
Comté factories not to have been renovated. The project
“Delle of the Future”, initiated in 2017, should culminate in
2020 with the full rehabilitation of this historic site and
project it into the future. The plant currently employs
some 300 people in production and another 180 within the
division’s central services.
