Dedienne Aerospace has acquired The Champion GSE, strengthening its footprint in the United States and diversifying its product portfolio. The sale was triggered by the lack of a family successor for the American target. This acquisition allows Dedienne to add "sensitive transport containers" to its existing maintenance tooling offer. Post-acquisition, Dedienne plans to invest EUR5 million in the Ohio facility and double its workforce there within three years. Additionally, Dedienne will replicate Champion's manufacturing capabilities in Europe by opening a new production line at its recently acquired site in Saint-Juery (France) to serve the EMEA market.
