The contract, which is estimated to be worth more than €60 million, covers the supply of Mecachrome mechanical parts and sub-assemblies in France and abroad for Thales Global Services.
Strategic partnerships for further expansion in Atlantic France
This partnership will strengthen Mecachrome’s presence in Atlantic France, where the company also has facilities in Sablé-sur-Sarthe, Herbignac, and Sainte-Luce-sur-Loire, making it a major player in this region. In order to produce the parts for Thales, a dedicated unit will be created in Vendée.
With more than 40 years of experience in the premium automotive sector and motorsport, Mecachrome has also renewed its partnership with the FIA Formula 3. This means that it will continue to work on the design, development, manufacturing, and maintenance of the V6 engines used by the racing cars in this championship.
Bruno Michel, Managing Director of FIA Formula 2 and FIA Formula 3, stressed the importance of working with a historic partner such as Mecachrome, underlining the reliability they bring to single-seater racing cars.
