Liebherr-Aerospace Toulouse SAS has completed the acquisition of GIT Galvanoplastie Industrielle Toulousaine SAS (GIT).
Situated in Cugnaux, near Toulouse, France, the company specialises in surface treatment and the application of liquid paint on diverse materials primarily for the aerospace sector. In 2023, GIT SAS recorded a turnover of €8 million (£6.84 million) and employed over 80 individuals.
François Lehmann, Chief Financial Officer of Liebherr-Aerospace & Transportation SAS and Managing Director of Liebherr-Aerospace Toulouse SAS, elucidated, “With the integration of GIT Galvanoplastie Industrielle Toulousaine SAS, we are enriching our industrial competencies by incorporating crucial expertise in surface treatment. This acquisition not only enhances our industrial capacity but also introduces cutting-edge processes to facilitate our growth and that of our clientele.”
He further added, “This strategic move follows our recent acquisition of SIBI SAS in Montauban, a subsidiary of the KEP Technologies Group, and the establishment of our subsidiary Liebherr-Aerospace Montauban SAS, less than three months ago. These endeavours underscore our commitment and foresight to address the burgeoning demands of the aerospace industry and to fortify our foothold in the Occitanie region.”
GIT, a 100%-owned subsidiary of Liebherr-Aerospace Toulouse SAS, soon will be known as Liebherr-Aerospace Coatings SAS. Guillaume Deltombe, former production manager at Liebherr-Aerospace Toulouse SAS, will assume leadership as the manager of the newly formed entity.
