Groupe Aeroprotec

Groupe Aeroprotec is a French group that applies surface treatments and paints to aerospace parts. Its website says it was founded in 2005 and has served major aerospace contractors since then. The company describes its business as applying certified, reliable and rigorously controlled surface treatments and paints, so that critical parts keep their conformity and last longer. The head office is in Pau, in southwestern France.

Sites and team

The group says it employs 300 people at three plants in France and a site in Tunisia. Its locations are in Pau, in Uzein, in Saint-Nicolas-de-Redon in Brittany, and in Tunis. The Uzein plant, called Aeroprotec GDim, uses tanks that can treat components up to 9 meters wide, and the website says the whole treatment plant has been REACH compliant since 2018.
