ESM at the Paris Air Show 2025

In June 2025 an ESM delegation led by our Chief Executive Officer, Mohamed Wali, and our Chief Operating Officer, Hamdi Koubaa, travelled to Paris-Le Bourget for the 55th Paris Air Show, held from 16 to 22 June 2025. Our goals: meet our customers on their own stands, open new doors across the supply chain and take the pulse of an industry that is ramping up.

Who we met

• Our customers, on their stands. On 18 June we held working meetings on the stands of customers and partners, to review current programmes and the year ahead.
• New contacts across the supply chain. Aerostructures, cabin interiors and precision components. Several of these conversations continued after the show, with follow-up calls and meetings in the following weeks.
• The Tunisian aerospace community. The show was also the occasion of the memorandum signed by GITAS and GIFAS, which extends Aero Excellence, AirCyber and training to the Tunisian aerospace supply chain, a framework ESM is fully engaged in.

What we brought back

A clear message from the supply chain: demand for precision machining capacity is very strong. Back in Ben Arous, we reorganised our commercial pipeline to allocate our five-axis capacity where customers need it most.

Le Bourget is also where the European industry sets its standards. Aero Excellence, the common supplier assessment of the European aerospace industry, is now our reference. Read our quality policy and where we stand.
