Stelia Aerospace

SOGERMA

SOGERMA (SOciété Girondine d'Entretien et de Réparation d'Militaires Avions ) was a French company founded in 1924 with its origins in the early days of aviation.^[2] Until a restructure in 2006, the company undertook MRO activities; after this the company further developed its aerostructures and seats business.

AEROLIA

AEROLIA SA was founded on 1 January 2009, as a spin-off of Airbus France's aerostructures activities. This involved the Méaulte and Saint-Nazaire industrial plants, with a part of Toulouse design office. This outsourcing operation was part of Airbus global strategy to focus its activities on its core business, involving several other Airbus spin-offs (selling-off the Filton (UK) site component manufacturing activities to GKN, and the creation of Premium Aerotec in Germany).

Merger

Stelia Aerospace was created on 1 January 2015 by the merger of Aerolia and Sogerma.
