FIGEAC AÉRO, an established partner to major aerospace manufacturers, has announced the signing of new agreements for the production in Mexico of mechanical components for the assembly of passenger seats, electrical harnesses and landing gear, to be fitted to commercial aircraft.
Following three separate tenders in North America, FIGEAC AÉRO has been selected to produce parts for the assembly of equipment destined for several Airbus, Boeing and Bombardier aircraft families. The first batch includes components for passenger seats selected by airlines and subsequently installed on numerous aircraft types; the second covers a range of housings and support kits for the installation of electrical harnesses intended for Boeing aircraft families; and the third relates to machined aluminium landing gear parts for Bombardier business jets.
All production will take place at the Group’s plant in Chihuahua, Mexico. In addition to the proven expertise of its teams, the site’s proximity to customer facilities was a key factor in the decision, alongside the high technological standard of its production capabilities and assembly operations, reflecting the Group’s proactive reinvestment strategy in Mexico following the sale of its Hermosillo site in 2022.
FIGEAC AÉRO anticipates annual revenue of US$1.5 million from these agreements, which will help optimise utilisation of the Mexican site and support the continued recovery of profitability. First deliveries are scheduled for 2026.
Under its PILOT 28 plan, the Group identified North America as a major area for commercial development. While the Wichita and Chihuahua sites accounted for only around 5% of total business as of March 31, 2025, the region now represents approximately one-third of new business secured since the launch of PILOT 28.
