What Mecaer Aviation Group does

Mecaer Aviation Group S.p.A. (MAG), founded in 1995 and headquartered in Borgomanero, Italy, is an integrated aerospace systems provider serving helicopter, business aviation, and general aviation markets. The company operates two Strategic Business Units: "Integrated Aircraft Systems" (Actuation & Flight Control Systems and Landing Systems) and "Aircraft Services" (Cabin Interiors and Aircraft MRO & Mission Customization). MAG holds long-term production partnerships with Leonardo Helicopters, Bell Helicopter Textron, Airbus Helicopters, Turkish Aerospace Industries, and Collins Aerospace, and serves Italian and US government, military, law enforcement, corporate aviation, and general aviation end-customers through 8 facilities and approximately 950 employees globally.

MAG's technology base spans electro-mechanical, electro-hydraulic, and hydraulic servoactuators; mechanical flight controls; clean-sheet and built-to-print landing gear (nose and main gears, retraction systems, wheels and brakes, steering); and proprietary cabin platforms including IFEEL™ (in-flight entertainment and cabin management), SILENS™ (lightweight noise reduction), and the patented DAMP noise and vibration abatement solution. Model-specific cabin interior kits are delivered for Leonardo AW169/AW139/AW109, Bell 429/525/505 (under the MAGnificent sub-brand), and Airbus H145 variants (HEMS and Mercedes-Benz configurations). Operational certifications include EASA DOA/POA/MOA Part 21J/21G/145 and CAMO Part M, FAA Part 145, Transport Canada AWM 561 and CAR 573.02, NADCAP (NDT, heat treatment, machining), EN/AS9100, and NATO AQAP-2120/2310.

MAG's revenue mix combines project-based OEM contracts (one-time license revenue for actuation, landing gear, and cabin interior kits), MRO and refurbishment professional services, and recurring spare parts sales. Distribution relies on direct enterprise sales to OEMs and an Authorized Service Center / AgustaWestland Certified Service Center network across Italy and North America, supported by MRO capacity of 45+ maintenance bays and 65 certified technicians across three main bases. The company publicly disclosed €224 million in sales and articulated a strategic target of approximately €500 million within 6–7 years, with M&A and maintenance expansion as the primary growth levers.
