About LATECOERE

Latécoère is a French industrial company and a recognized aerospace supplier, historically rooted in Toulouse, one of Europe’s leading aerospace hubs. Founded in 1917 by Pierre-Georges Latécoère, the group initially gained prominence in early aviation before evolving into a specialized manufacturer of critical subsystems for major aircraft makers. Today, Latécoère positions itself as a Tier-1 partner to leading international customers including Airbus, Boeing, Bombardier, Dassault Aviation, Embraer, Honda Aircraft, Lockheed Martin and Thales. The group’s business model spans the full lifecycle of aerospace programs and is organized around several core activities. Its aerostructures division covers doors, fuselage sections, wings, empennage and structural parts. Its interconnection systems division develops electrical wiring harnesses, avionics racks, test benches and embedded equipment. Latécoère also provides services and special products such as customer support, maintenance and repair, as well as onboard video systems. In addition, the company has a space activity focused on electrical harnesses and sub-assemblies for satellites, launchers and other space vehicles. From an industrial standpoint, Latécoère has an international footprint, with facilities in 13 countries and operations split between EMEA-Asia and the Americas. This geographic proximity to customers is strategically important in aerospace, where certification, quality, industrial ramp-up and supply-chain resilience are key competitive factors. The group has also strengthened its North American presence through targeted acquisitions and strategic moves aimed at increasing exposure to commercial and defense platforms. Latécoère is particularly well known for its expertise in aircraft electrical wiring systems. The company claims a leading position in this niche, with deep know-how in EWIS solutions and participation in next-generation programs, including supersonic aviation through its collaboration with Boom Supersonic. This gives the company meaningful technological visibility and commercial relevance, while also making it highly sensitive to production cycles at major aircraft manufacturers. In 2024, Latécoère employed more than 5,000 people and generated revenue of €705.8 million, according to its corporate website. The group later stated that it had around 6,000 employees across 13 countries at the end of 2025, reflecting a recovery and growth trajectory in a gradually normalizing aerospace market. For investors, Latécoère is therefore a specialized industrial equity with strong exposure to commercial aviation, but also meaningful positions in defense, business aviation and space, combining niche technical capabilities with high operational leverage.
