Figeac Aero North America
This industrial site located in Wichita, Kansas was acquired in May 2014. Back then, it specialised in surface treatment and assembly. Figeac Aero transformed the site to make it a model of industrial excellence in North America.
To increase its competitiveness, the Company has brought three different skillsets together under a single roof
- Machining
- Surface treatment
- Assembly
