SOCOMORE pursues dynamic external growth strategy with acquisition of ELIXAIR

SOCOMORE and the owners of ELIXAIR have signed an agreement under which Socomore acquires the company and signs an exclusive worldwide license for the commercialization of composite plastic scrapers that allow easy removal of adhesives and cured sealant residues. Along with the Skywipes, the Skyscrapers line of products are complementary to SOCOMORE pre-saturated wipes for the cleaning of adhesive tapes, adhesives and uncured sealants residues. The license covers the following product ranges:
– SkyScrapers for the application of sealant and removal of sealant and adhesive tape residues,
– SkyMill Revolution, a sharpening tool to clean and extend the SkyScrapers’ life
– SkyEdgit, a portable grinding device for SkyScrapers usable directly at the operators’ workstations.
Both the skywipes and SkyScrapers family of products are approved by most aerospace OEM (Airbus, Boeing, Bombardier, etc). SOCOMORE will promote and market these products with the support of 3M the historical distributor for the remainder of 2017. SOCOMORE will take-over 3M’s worldwide channel to market on December 31st, 2017 in order to continue to develop Elixair products’ sales worldwide at main aerospace manufacturers and service providers, through its existing network of subsidiaries and partners around the Globe.
