What Euramec does

Euramec (EURAMEC NV) is a privately held Belgian company founded in 1991, headquartered in Hamme near Brussels with a sales and service office in Denver, Colorado. The company designs, manufactures, and delivers customized, high-fidelity flight simulation and training devices for the defense, law enforcement, commercial aviation, and general aviation sectors, with deployments across Europe, North America, and emerging markets in Oceania. Its product portfolio spans Flight Training Solutions (EASA- and FAA-certified FTDs and FNPTs), Mission Training Devices (EO/IR sensor simulators such as GIST, full ISR simulation including Radar/Electronic Warfare/TACO/Acoustics, crew and part-task trainers), and Virtual Maintenance Training using VR/AR, supported by proprietary modules including 6 DOF motion systems, wide-field-of-view visual systems, and in-house Control Force Load technology.

Euramec operates a build-to-spec, quote-based hardware sales model complemented by recurring annual service-level agreements, spare parts, certification support, and an upcycling program that converts original cockpits into simulators. The company sells directly through enterprise field sales from Belgium and the US, supported by participation in industry events (Paris Air Show, Dubai Air Show, SKYHALL). Its go-to-market targets defense ministries, law enforcement agencies, commercial airlines, flight training organizations (ATOs), OEMs, and humanitarian operators, leveraging its dual EASA and FAA certification portfolio as a primary regulatory barrier to entry.

The business was originally a printed-circuit-board contract manufacturer before relocating to Singapore in 1994 and pivoting to aerospace. After returning to Belgium in 2009/2010, Euramec focused exclusively on flight training devices, and in Q2 2022 it acquired the activities of Aerosimulators Group, materially expanding its mission training and defense simulation capabilities. More recently, it has signed co-development partnerships with Mission Aviation Fellowship International (Cessna Caravan FTD, January 2025) and Multisim (VR/D-Sim software integration) and announced plans for an additional workshop and design center in Portugal. The company remains founder-led by Bert Buyle with no disclosed external equity investment.
