| 02/2025 | UUDS | SATYS CABIN | FRANCE | Aerostructures | 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. |
