EGILE

What EGILE does

EGILE Mechanics S.L. is a Spanish high-precision mechanical engineering company headquartered in Mendaro, Basque Country, operating as the flagship manufacturing entity of Egile Group (Egile Corporation XXI S.L.). The company was formed in 2018 through the merger of two group subsidiaries, DMP (aeronautics) and Zehatz (machine-tool grinding), consolidating precision mechanics operations under a single legal entity. EGILE operates five specialized business units: Aero Transmissions (rotating components and power transmission systems for aircraft), Aero Engines (hot-section components including vanes, blades, thermal shields, and Turbine Rear Frames), Aero Systems (landing gear dampers, actuation systems, propulsion components), Extreme Precision (sub-micrometric components for space, particle therapy, photolithography, and air-bearing systems), and Can Tooling (easy-open systems for metal food packaging). The company is also a Core Partner in the EU Clean Sky 2 ENGINE ITD program and operates a dedicated Egile Additive Manufacturing unit for laser powder bed fusion using nickel-based alloys (IN718) in aerospace applications.

The technology stack spans conventional and advanced manufacturing: multi-axis turning, 5-axis machining, flat and cylindrical grinding, wire cutting, deep drilling, gear cutting/grinding, EDM, broaching, balancing, and additive manufacturing, complemented by in-house metal powder characterization and process parameter development. R&D investment exceeds 15% of revenue at the Egile Mechanics level and 17% at the group level, supporting strategic R&D lines in geared motors, pumps, superalloy machining, packaging innovation, accelerator systems, and Industry 4.0. EGILE holds EN9100:2018, ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001, EMAS, carbon footprint registration, and four NADCAP accreditations (Non-Conventional Machining, Non-Destructive Testing, Chemical Processing, Heat Treatment). The company maintains a partnership network including Safran (multiple divisions), CESA, ITP Aero, IK4-Tekniker, CEIT, Lortek, UPV/EHU, and EU/basque public funding bodies.

The business model is B2B precision engineering with project-based, quote-based pricing on custom-manufactured components. Revenue is generated from hardware sales of precision-manufactured parts and assemblies to aerospace OEMs, engine manufacturers, platform manufacturers, and industrial customers in food packaging, science, and particle therapy sectors. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales with deep co-development partnerships, particularly through European aerospace programs (Clean Sky 2, Horizon 2020). EGILE participates in industry events such as Formnext and tradeshows, and operates a multi-language corporate website for top-of-funnel engagement. The company is privately held, with no external institutional investment disclosed; ownership is retained within the Egile Group structure, which also includes related entities in water treatment (TECEXSA), robotic surgery (Cyber Surgery spin-off), and industrial automation (SmartPM, established 2019).
