Toulouse-based mechanical and high-temp engineers COMAT are past masters in the aerospace, medical and defense fields and are setting up in Bordeaux’s Aeroparc.
Our strength lies in the fact that we are unique. We have the complete capacity for designing, manufacturing and testing, explains Olivier Carron, VP Marketing. This is what has made COMAT stand out from the competition for the last 30 years. We do not limit ourselves to engineering. We can also realize what we have designed.
The company’s major customers include the European Space Agency, the Atomic Energy Commission, DGA (Government Armaments Commission) and EADS (aerospace manufacturing).
In fact, the presence of EADS is one of the reasons for setting up in Bordeaux. The rationale for the Aeroparc move was to get closer to customers in order to respond more effectively to their needs. The move has been in the pipeline since 2005 and the engineering and assembly plant came on stream on 15 April.
In addition to building relationships with local companies, COMAT plans to hire 15 to 20 new staff over the next three years.
