Paris and Munich, 16th November 2015


Nexeya acquires TECHSAT of Germany adding to its core offering of the design and integration of embedded aeronautical systems.


NEXEYA is pleased to announce the acquisition of TECHSAT, recognized internationally for the development, integration, testing and maintenance of embedded aeronautical systems. The TECHSAT product offering and their engineering talents merge extremely well with NEXEYA's core competencies.


The acquisition of TECHSAT follows the recent purchase of CableTest Systems, NEXEYA's first North American acquisition. Together the two investments are examples of how NEXEYA is executing its international sales growth and technology acquisition strategy.


'The acquisition of TECHSAT allows NEXEYA to not only strengthen its presence in the German market, but further support activities in China, Korea and Russia. The combined expertise of both companies now allows us to propose key know-how for the development of new offerings to aircraft manufacturers and support the entire aeronautical ecosystem. TECHSAT's product offering, especially the ADS2 suite - a real- time integration and simulation platform, as well as new generation data loaders, complements and strengthens our own product offering in the field of embedded equipment testing, especially SYSTEAM (integration) and WIDD (electrical faults detectors) testers. This acquisition is great news for NEXEYA and TECHSAT clients,' says Philippe GAUTIER, CEO of NEXEYA.


'The integration of TECHSAT into the NEXEYA Group is a great opportunity for us to accelerate our development by allowing us access to significantly greater human and financial means. We have shared the same passion with NEXEYA for years: that of applying our expertise to the development of new generations of aircraft. At a time when multiple aircraft development projects exist worldwide, the combination of our talents will accelerate the realisation of opportunities available to us,' state Bruno SCHLECHT and Dieter KONNERTH, founders of TECHSAT.
