What Coexpair does

Coexpair S.A. is a Belgian specialty industrial equipment and software company founded in 2006 in Namur, Belgium, focused on out-of-autoclave composite manufacturing for aerospace and adjacent high-performance sectors. The company designs, manufactures, and assembles RTM (Resin Transfer Molding) and SQRTM (Same Qualified Resin Transfer Molding) equipment — presses ranging from 70-ton workstations to the world's largest 4,000-ton, 9x4-meter press for RTM aerostructures, plus electric servodrive injection systems (single-cylinder 2,100–15,000cc and multi-cylinder 20,000–45,000cc), high-precision molds (±0.15mm tolerance, >150 delivered), and the proprietary Software 4.0 suite (Floware™, Master™, Syncflow™, Maestro™) for SCADA, multi-equipment synchronization, and shop-floor data management.

Coexpair sells primarily to Tier-1 aerospace suppliers and OEMs (Spirit AeroSystems, Airbus, Lockheed Martin, Leonardo, Safran, Sonaca) through a direct enterprise field-sales motion supplemented by an exclusive USA partnership with Radius Engineering (founded 1986). Revenue streams are a mix of one-time hardware sales (presses, injection systems, molds, custom equipment), recurring software subscriptions (Floware/Maestro), and professional services (four-phase collaborative development programs, FEA, material/process engineering, and 3-day RTM/SQRTM training). Through its wholly-owned subsidiary Coexpair Dynamics SRL, Coexpair extends into Automated Fiber Placement, supplying AFP gantries, robots, and heads built on Siemens Sinumerik One and Trelleborg Sealing Solutions Albany head technology.

The company operates from two Namur facilities (Rue des Entrepreneurs 10 and 10b) with ~30 employees including ~15 engineers, holds EN 9100 aerospace quality certification, and participates in a dense portfolio of EU- and Wallonia-funded R&D consortia (AIRPOXY €6.5M as coordinator, COMP4++, DiComEx, IMPACT, ANDORRA, BestCMR, ESI-F35, MAT4RAIL) spanning aeronautics, defense, space (cryogenic hydrogen tanks), and railway. No external venture or private equity funding is disclosed; Coexpair is privately held by its operating founders and management.
