Daher has renewed and expanded its contract with Airbus Atlantic for the logistics management of the West Hub in Montoir-de-Bretagne. This five-year partnership (2026–2031) presents a significant operational challenge: supporting an industrial ramp-up that will see logistics volumes triple and staffing levels double by mid-2027.
The renewed agreement covers two complementary areas.
The first concerns management of the logistics hub, including the receipt, storage, inventory control and dispatch of parts from the Nantes and Saint-Nazaire production sites in France, as well as from all suppliers. To accommodate a threefold increase in daily inbound volumes, Daher’s workforce will progressively expand from 250 to 450 employees by mid-2027.
The second area relates to distribution to production flows, with parts delivered directly to Airbus’ manufacturing lines. Components must be available immediately upon request; any delay risks production stoppages or disruption during manufacturing phases. To meet the demands of this ramp-up, Daher is mobilising its teams by doubling its workforce, recruiting and training local talent, and reorganising logistics flows to integrate the consolidation of four plants into the central hub.
To support this transformation, Daher has developed the Hub Advanced Monitoring System as part of the contract tender process. This advanced management platform enables real-time oversight of all logistics flows, coordinating automation processes and optimising flow convergence.
In parallel, Daher is deploying end-to-end automation solutions for upstream and downstream flows to support the expansion of the automated warehouse operated by Airbus Atlantic.
