This transaction results in the integration of nearly 560 employees: 490 in Spain, 20 in France, 20 in the United Kingdom, and 30 in Germany.
It enables the Group to significantly enhance its capabilities in the aerospace and defense sector and to strengthen its position across the entire manufacturing engineering value chain.
With this acquisition, SII reaches a new milestone in its development and further reinforces its position as a leading player in aerospace and defense.
“This acquisition goes far beyond strengthening our capabilities: above all, it represents a coming together of teams, expertise and cultures.
