A real industrial challenge linked to the first outsourcing of part of the production, the industrialization of TRVs benefits from extensive support from SAE both logistically, with for example the provision of raw materials, and operationally. and financial.
Building on this new success and the strong recovery in the sector, FIGEAC AÉRO intends to continue the development of new growth opportunities, while respecting its objectives of profitability, control of CAPEX and WCR, factors of cash generation.
