Aquitaine Electronique: an official visit to celebrate our new site and our growth in a thriving aerospace market

On June 30, Aquitaine Électronique (AE) had the honor of welcoming Patrick Beyrie, President of the Communauté de Communes du Luy de Béarn (CCLB), and Jean-Yves Courrèges, Mayor of Serres-Castet, for an official visit to our new industrial site located at 62 chemin de Pau, Serres-Castet.

This event was the opportunity to present our new facilities, acquired in April 2024 through the purchase of Eaton’s former premises, which closed at the end of 2023. With the support of the CCLB, we were able to refurbish and adapt this strategic building to host our activities in the design, manufacturing, and maintenance of high-reliability electronic equipment.

Following this visit, two regional and economic media outlets showcased our project, for which we are sincerely grateful:

• Ouest-France emphasized the importance of this acquisition for local economic revitalization and the strengthening of industrial employment.
• Placéco highlighted our strategic positioning in a booming aerospace market and our ambitious growth prospects.

A thriving aerospace market driving company growth

The aerospace and space markets are currently experiencing strong momentum, fueled by the post-crisis recovery and the growing demand for embedded electronic systems, test benches, and critical equipment. Aquitaine Électronique is fully aligned with this trend.

Aquitaine Electronique’s local footprint: 3 sites and diversified electronic expertise

We now operate three complementary sites within the CCLB:

• AE: Embedded electronic equipment
• AEMSI: Ground systems, test benches, and trial benches
• AEGIS: Electrotechnical wiring and subcontracted manufacturing

This structure enables us to respond efficiently to the needs of our clients in the aerospace, defense, space, and energy sectors.

Industrial sovereignty: local cooperation serving defense, aerospace, and space markets

In today’s uncertain global environment, French and European technological sovereignty is at the heart of our mission. By mastering the design, manufacturing, and maintenance of our equipment in-house, we help secure supply chains and preserve the strategic autonomy of critical industries.

This site acquisition is the result of successful cooperation between public and private stakeholders, demonstrating that industry and local communities can work hand in hand to develop impactful, forward-looking projects.
