SATYS CABIN acquired by UUDS
Context
UUDS Aero acquired 100% of Satys Cabin from the Satys Aerospace group. This "carve-out" allowed Satys to refocus on its core business of aircraft painting and sealing, while providing UUDS with the industrial manufacturing capabilities it previously lacked. Financed through bank debt, the deal is highly synergistic: it combines UUDS's expertise in airline maintenance with Satys Cabin's direct access to aircraft manufacturers (OEMs). This merger allows the new entity to address the entire aircraft lifecycle—from factory exit to end-of-life refurbishment—within the high-margin Premium and First Class segments.
SATYS CABIN, which reported an EBITDA margin of LOGIN in 2024, is valued in this transaction at an EV/EBITDA multiple of LOGIN, a level to compare with the average currently observed in the Industry & Manufacturing sector (11.1x).

Target
Formerly the cabin division of Satys Aerospace, Satys Cabin is a specialized manufacturer of high-end aircraft interior furniture and cabin components. Unlike pure maintenance players, the company focuses on the design and production of "line-fit" elements—furniture installed in brand-new aircraft at the factory stage. With a strong reputation for craftsmanship in First and Business class segments, the company operates high-standard production facilities in Roissy-en-France, generating approximately EUR28 million in annual revenue.
