Gers.Aeronautics: the recovery is long overdue at JCB aero
The economic activity of the aeronautical sector is back.At least with regard to beerbits like Airbus.For subcontractors, reality is sometimes much less brilliant.In the Gers, for example, JCB Aéro is struggling to regain its vitality before the pre-crisis.The "Commercial Flights" activity has still not restarted, as recognized by the director of the company Éric Cagnat: "We are waiting for a takeover ... We estimate it at 2024.»»
In question, client commands like Airbus or Safran who do not arrive and whose recovery does not yet seem to be dripping throughout the sector. Du côté de l’activité « aménagement intérieur d’avion de luxe»», là encore, le dynamisme n’est pas revenu à son niveau d’avant la crise sanitaire, même s’il y a du mieux. « L’activité repart»», assure Éric Cagnat.Positive signals, of course, mas not enough to slash champagne: "You have to be patient. On a la chance d’avoir le groupe Amac Aerospace [la société suisse propriétaire de JCB Aéro, NDLR] qui marche bien et nous aide à maintenir l’activité»».
Another support for the Gers company, that of the State.As part of the France Plan Relarance, JCB Aéro received nearly 800,000 euros in aid to develop its digitalization."Concretely, we responded to a tender where we exhibited our project. L’idée, c’est de digitaliser nos moyens de production en devenant, par exemple, une entreprise zéro papier»». Cette aide permettra aussi à JCB Aéro de lancer des investissements dans la « commande numérique»» (une machine-outil chargée de donner des instructions à des outils de production).Objective: to reduce production costs to improve profitability.

The announcement of this aid was doubled by a ministerial meeting.This Monday, Geneviève Darrieussecq, Minister Delegate of the Armed Forces, visiting the Gers, made a detour by the premises of the Auscitan Aeronautical subcontractor.Because in addition to the France Plan revival, JCB Aéro was able to count on the public procurement of the French Defense sector.Almost 20% of the activity of the Gers aeronautical company is dedicated to this activity.But impossible to know more. « C’est classé confidentielle défense»», explique le directeur."In any case, orders continued despite the crisis, which made it possible to maintain a certain level of activity.»»
Now, JCB Aéro seeks to diversify, especially in the luxury nautical sector.A bet to find a little dynamism.Even if there were no layoffs, the number of employees went from 220 to 133 during the crisis.
