Sogeclair said it is considering selling engineering work dedicated to Airbus as it seeks to diversify, with any deal still subject to approvals and employee consultation.
Sogeclair said on May 18, 2026 that it is considering a divestment of engineering activities dedicated to Airbus, in a move the French company said would support its long-term growth strategy and diversification.
The company said any transaction would still need regulatory approvals and consultation with employee representative bodies. It did not disclose a valuation, timeline or potential buyer.
According to Sogeclair, Airbus would remain among its top five customers even if a divestment goes ahead, through other activities including industrial thermoplastics and wing access panels.
The announcement comes as Sogeclair looks to deepen its exposure to defense and business aviation. In its latest quarterly update on April 29, the company had already described Airbus as one of its top customers.
The news was published by Sogeclair through GlobeNewswire and carried on Euronext's company-news service.
What happens next
Investors will be watching for whether Sogeclair opens a formal sale process, identifies a buyer or provides further detail on the size and scope of the Airbus-linked activities. Any deal would also depend on the required approvals and consultation steps.
