GMP Group

What GMP Group does

GMP Group is a French advanced-technology manufacturing group founded in 1968 and headquartered in Saint-Pierre-en-Faucigny, Haute-Savoie, operating as a tier-one supplier to aerospace, defense, space, nuclear, equipment, and medical sector clients. The group is organized into four wholly-owned divisions: GMP Ingenierie (design engineering office), GMP Additiv' (metallic additive manufacturing), GMP Industrie (high-precision mechanical and micro-mechanical machining and assembly), and GMP Metrologie (measurement, testing, and inspection). Core capabilities span complex-part precision machining, construction of complete mechanical assemblies, metallic 3D printing, and metrology services — supporting customers from product design through quality verification within a single integrated supplier relationship.

The company's revenue model is contract-based B2B with quote-based procurement typical of aerospace and defense supply chains. GMP serves a roster of enterprise tier-one customers that includes Airbus, Airbus Helicopters, Dassault Aviation, Safran, Thales, UTC Aerospace Systems, and the European Space Agency (ESA). Reported revenue at the time of its 2026 acquisition was approximately €30 million, with 51-100 employees. In March 2026, the company was acquired by Tikehau Capital via its Ace Aéro Partenaires II fund — the third investment of this fund within two years of fundraising — with CEO Stéphane Guerraz and the management team retaining a minority equity stake. The group operates as an independent portfolio company within Tikehau's aerospace and defense supply chain strategy, with existing management continuing to run operations.

Broad incumbents

• LISI Aerospace: Division of LISI Group, one of the largest European manufacturers of aerospace fasteners and structural components. Much larger scale than GMP but competes for similar tier-one supplier positions on Airbus and Boeing programs.
• Howmet Aerospace: Global leader in aerospace engine components, structures, and fasteners. Much larger scale and global footprint but operates in adjacent precision machining and assembly segments serving the same aerospace OEM customer base.
• Latécoère: French tier-one aerospace supplier of aerostructures and interconnection systems. Overlapping customer base with Airbus and broader industrial services portfolio than GMP's narrower precision machining focus.
• Daher: French aerospace tier-one supplier and industrial services group with machining, composites, and logistics capabilities. Broader portfolio than GMP but competes on similar precision manufacturing scope with overlapping customers.
• Senior plc: UK-listed aerospace and defense precision engineered components supplier. Comparable precision machining and fluid conveyance products serving Boeing, Airbus, and engine OEMs at significantly larger scale.
• Precision Castparts Corp: Berkshire Hathaway-owned global aerospace precision components supplier. Massive scale with similar tier-one supplier business model across machined parts and complex assemblies for aerospace primes.

Direct peers

• Aubert & Duval: French specialty alloys and precision forged/machined parts supplier for aerospace, defense, and energy. Comparable tier-one supplier model with overlapping customer set including Safran and Airbus.
• Dedienne Aerospace: French aerospace OEM tooling, MRO, and precision components supplier serving Airbus and engine OEMs. Direct peer with similar French tier-one positioning and additive manufacturing exposure.
• Mecachrome: Canadian-French precision machining and assembly specialist serving Airbus, Safran, and other aerospace primes. Closest direct peer to GMP Industrie given overlapping precision machining capabilities and tier-one aerospace customer base.
• Figeac Aero: French precision parts manufacturer serving Airbus, Safran, Spirit Aerosystems, and Boeing. Direct peer in tier-one aerospace structural parts, with comparable precision machining and surface treatment capabilities.
