With an annual revenue of €1.6 billion and 7,O00 employees worldwide at the end of 2020 – 4,500 in France and 2,500 in North America, Tunisia, Morocco and Portugal – STELIA Aerospace works alongside major aircraft manufacturers, including Airbus, ATR, Boeing, Bombardier, Embraer and Dassault, as well as leading airlines such as Air France, Singapore Airlines, Etihad Airways, China Southern Airlines and Thai Airways. Under the leadership of its President Cédric Gautier, STELIA Aerospace is focused on market leadership in its preferred product sectors, capitalizing on its expertise and skills, and building on its manufacturing excellence, as well as on the individual strengths of its specialist production facilities. 7,000 STELIA Aerospace employees worldwide Figures as of end 2020 Through its development and the manufacturing of innovative products, STELIA Aerospace is shaping the future of aviation, through 3 major industry sectors: AEROSTRUCTURES The engineering, production & integration expert PASSENGER SEATS A wide range of innovative bespoke seats PILOT SEATS Flying a new experience OUR VALUES Make the ambitions of STELIA Aerospace a reality We have no doubt about the fact that the women and men of STELIA Aerospace are key to the success of our Group, because it is the work they do that generates customer satisfaction, builds team commitment and delivers collective performance. The six core values of STELIA Aerospace are what enable us to make our ambitions a reality. ENTHUSIASM 1 2 3 4 5 6 RESEARCH & TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH AND INNOVATION ARE CENTRAL TO STELIA AEROSPACE’S STRATEGY STELIA Aerospace invests long term in its people and in the research resources needed to prepare for the future with high levels of expertise and cutting-edge technologies. Located in all the Group’s main production and engineering facilities in France – Méaulte, Saint-Nazaire, Rochefort and Toulouse – the Research and Technology (R&T) department works to develop the future technologies that will keep STELIA Aerospace at the forefront of innovation in design and manufacturing. The real strength of our Research & Technology commitment is rooted in our teams of passionate engineers and technicians, our network of internal experts and our in-house advanced development resources, as well as a dynamic collaborative research philosophy underpinned by an extensive network of customers, subcontractors and partners, ranging from universities to public-sector technical and research centers. The STELIA Aerospace R&T department has the full range of skills required for advanced technological development: design, dimensioning, a test pyramid that extends from simple element (coupon) testing through manufacturing of hi-tech sample components with complex loadings, process simulation, development of tools, machines and complex industrial systems, down to the production of full-scale demonstrators. Combined with our EN9100-certified research management processes, this extremely broad spectrum of skills allows us to bring new technologies to high levels of maturity. The R&T department also has its own laboratories, including STELIALAB in Méaulte (France). Handling cutting-edge technologies from fiber placement robots to friction stir welding (FSW) and assembly robotics, this laboratory was set up specifically to explore new fields of research and apply them to our specialist aerostructures, systems and interior design business lines. Our other research centers are located as closely as possible to the facilities that manufacture the products concerned, especially regarding thermoplastic pipes and the simulation of drawing and machining processes at Saint-Nazaire. All R&T facilities for the cabin fit-out and Pilot Seats business lines are located in Rochefort. It is here that the seats of tomorrow are envisioned and designed to create new products, such as the brand new OPERA Business Class seat. Rochefort also hosts the GENOSIA collaborative research project, aimed at developing the next generation of Pilot Seats. Innovation is focused on 4 priorities: 1. Materials to develop more eco-efficient products while improving perceived quality and hygiene 2. Integrating hi-tech functions that add new richness to the customer experience 3. Conceptualizing tomorrow’s aircraft seats 4.
