en.Wedoany.com Reported - Sopra Steria (Euronext Paris: SOP) recently announced that it has entered exclusive negotiations to acquire the manufacturing engineering business of Daher Industrial Services, a subsidiary of the Daher Group. Through this acquisition, the major European technology company aims to enhance its expertise in aerospace engineering.

The manufacturing engineering business covers two key areas of aerospace manufacturing processes: the preparatory pre-production phase critical to the manufacturing lifecycle, and support for production rate increases and improvements in manufacturing process efficiency. The related operations also help ensure quality, industrial performance, and continuity of manufacturing processes. The business employs over 360 people, primarily in France, and generated revenue of more than €42 million in 2025, with the majority of revenue coming from Airbus, with which it has maintained a long-term strategic partnership since 1995.

This acquisition will significantly enhance Sopra Steria's capabilities in key manufacturing engineering processes, aligning with the group's strategic plan to develop end-to-end expertise across the entire aerospace value chain. With accelerating production rates in the aerospace sector and increasingly stringent industrial performance standards, Sopra Steria plans to leverage this transaction to expand its ability to support the critical industrial needs of major groups such as Airbus, and to strengthen its position as a technical and industrial partner for major European aerospace programs.

The proposed acquisition is subject to consultation with employee representative bodies and customary regulatory approvals. The transaction is expected to be completed in the second half of 2026.

Sopra Steria is a major European technology company with 51,000 employees in nearly 30 countries, renowned for its consulting, digital services, and solutions. The group combines deep industry expertise, technical mastery, and a collaborative approach to provide end-to-end solutions for large enterprises and organizations. In 2025, Sopra Steria generated revenue of €5.6 billion.
