FIGEAC AÉRO increases its exposure to the Rafale with the canards
FIGEAC AÉRO (FR0011665280 - FGA:FP), a leading partner for major aerospace manufacturers, announces that it has been
selected by Dassault Aviation to produce parts used in the composition of the Rafale aircraft's canards.
Under this latest agreement, FIGEAC AÉRO has been selected to produce critical titanium fittings used to fasten the
canards - winglets located forward of the delta wings - to the fuselage.
Production will take place at the TOFER facility in Escalquens (Haute-Garonne, France). TOFER is among the Group's
defense and energy subsidiaries and more specifically is highly specialised in turning processes, which is a core
machining operation for the parts in question. TOFER and the FIGEAC AÉRO Group were selected largely based on their
highly competitive offering, combining technical expertise and modern production equipment, as well as strategic
location in France.
Pierre Albert, Director of Operations Defense & Energy, added: "I would first like to thank Dassault Aviation for
entrusting this production to us. The staff at TOFER and the FIGEAC AÉRO Group are particularly proud to be involved in
producing critical parts and contributing to the ramp up of the Rafale, a program that is central to so many defense
organizations around the world. This latest contract is also evidence that we have made the right choices by
repositioning our Group in the strategic and sovereign fields of defense and energy, areas in which we continue to see
numerous opportunities for growth."
FIGEAC AÉRO currently expects to begin deliveries in 2026 and to reach cruising speed in 2027. The agreement will make
use of the Group's existing production capacity in addition to meeting all its financial criteria.
FIGEAC AÉRO is increasing its exposure to France's fighter aircraft programme through this latest contract with
Dassault Aviation, bearing in mind that it follows two other contracts the Group signed with engine manufacturer Safran
Aircraft Engines, the maker of the M88 turbofan engine which powers the Rafale, in financial year 2025/26. The program
has achieved commercial success both in France and overseas, so the Group is confident that its defense activities will
account for a growing share of its business mix going forward. This segment was defined as a top priority for FIGEAC
AÉRO's business development in its PILOT 28 plan and now accounts for 11% of the new business it has brought in, versus
a set target of 10%.
