"With its capabilities, its recognized know-how and strategic location, Aeromecanic represents for us an opportunity to strengthen durably our position in the military helicopter maintenance market. Sharing our values of safety, quality and operational performance, this new subsidiary allows us to complete our global military support offer (MCO) for the benefit of governments and key industrials thanks to a flexible, agile and responsive structure," indicates Philippe Rochet, chief executive officer of Sabena technics’ Group.
Sabena technics MRS is very committed to a process of developing its activities by doubling, starting 2021, the surface area of its industrial resources to be able to meet the challenges of its customers and industrial partners.
