SPI Actor in military aviation
As early as the 90s, SPI began a sub-contracted collaboration with Dassault and Airbus, for the painting of composite components and sub-assemblies as well as of the complete plane. SPI intervenes in a leading position for both manufacturers and the complete Supply Chain for small and large companies. SPI is an industrial painter which operates on a large range, from the A400M to the Rafale including the Mirage, Transal and other historical planes.
25 years later, SPI, a Confidential Defense company, holds a great number of aeronautic qualifications and certifications, and operates in sub-contracting and in-situ services on all types of materials, be they composites and/or metallic. For simple operations or complex treatments, from prototype to medium series, on elementary components or large aero-structure sub-assemblies, our skill is the result of an ongoing requirement on quality.
SPI’s experience is completed in the field of painting and decoration of aircrafts, interior design and aero equipment. Achieved for the benefit of our most demanding clients such as Dassault, Airbus, Safran, Thales, these missions demonstrate SPI’s capacity to operate along the entire production supply chain. For many years now, SPI has acquired the technology, for marking, labelling and decorating, on all types of supports, from small to medium size, using modern technical tools for digital printing, transfer and other techniques. This expertise is the demonstration of SPI’s capacities to offer a complete solution.
The expertise of the different techniques in aeronautic painting, surface treatment, sealing is driven by a company culture which places ‘best in class’ training and meeting requirements between customers’ requests and available solutions. Our teams, at all levels, know the procedures, methods and settings exclusive to the records for which nothing must be left to guesswork or approximation.
This constant attention, the monitoring of technological development and an investment policy offering only the best potential have resulted in a constantly renewed trust on the part of airplane manufacturers and of the Supply Chain, which is proved by the fact that new contracts have reinforced the partnership and have opened new features.
SPI can now manage complete portions of industrial production directly on client premises, relieving them of daily operations, purchasing, staff management and schedules. Operated by painting specialists, surface treatments, and sealing, these managements are optimized. The Engineering department elaborates methods as well as the associated documentation, based on manufacturers’ specifications, which become the norm and demonstrate the high-level of competences and product expertize.
Coupled with its engineering skills, SPI is a creator of global solutions and a long-term business partner, unparalleled in its line of business. SPI operates in new as well as in MRO activities (AiA, OGMA…).
