#SIAE2025 ✈️🚀 Today, at the International Paris Air Show, the Apave Group and Continental Automotive France confirmed their commitment to continued and enhanced collaboration. ✍️ Bruno Gstach, Managing Director of the #Apave Group's Specialised Entities Division, signed a cooperation agreement with Stefan May, President of #Continental Automotive France. This cooperation agreement follows Apave's acquisition in early June of Continental Automotive France's qualification laboratory in #Toulouse, which specialises in testing electronic components from Continental's production lines. This qualification #laboratory is now part of #SOPEMEA, a subsidiary of the Apave Group specialising in qualification testing, mechanical and climatic simulations, and electromagnetic compatibility. SOPEMEA is thus strengthening its offering in qualification/compliance #testing and failure analysis of parts from large-scale production lines, benefiting from the efficiency of methods used in the automotive industry. 🤝 For Sopemea's aerospace customers, this means the assurance of having a high-performance laboratory at their disposal to test their production parts and better control their technical risks!📰 Read the press release announcing the acquisition: https://ow.ly/q4c250WbnH0 #RiskManagement #Collaboration #Signature
