Part and subassembly specialist Figeac Aero is a first-time exhibitor here at the Farnborough airshow (Hall 1 Stand A15), with the news that it is expanding its activities to include hard metal machining. After having been badly hit by the economy last year, the French company hopes revenues are back on an ascending curve.

“We have begun to grow our business in the UK through our first contracts with Airbus’s factories in Broughton and Filton,” sales and marketing v-p Luc Rouan told AIN. Figeac Aero has also contacts with Rolls-Royce, GKN and Spirit AeroSystems in Britain, and he indicated that it sees its relationship with Spirit as a step to eventually reach Boeing.
