Core offering

LISI Group designs, manufactures, and sells fastening and assembly components for the aerospace and automotive industries through two divisions: LISI AEROSPACE (structural fasteners, blind fasteners, hydraulic fittings, structural components, and additive manufacturing for civil, military, and space applications) and LISI AUTOMOTIVE (fasteners, mechanical safety components, cable supports, and clipped solutions for conventional and electrified vehicles). Revenue is generated from direct sales to OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers, with €1.75 billion in 2025 revenue.

Product overview

LISI Group is a global industrial group specialized in the design and manufacture of assembly solutions and high value-added components for aerospace and automotive sectors. The company operates through two main divisions: LISI AEROSPACE (68% of revenue) and LISI AUTOMOTIVE (32% of revenue). LISI AEROSPACE produces fasteners (OPTIBLIND™, STARLITE™), structural components, leading edges, hydraulic fittings, wave guides, and compressor blades for aerospace applications. LISI AUTOMOTIVE manufactures fasteners for electric parking brakes, wiring ducts, airbag tensioners, electric powertrain fasteners, and high-voltage cable supports for vehicles. Key innovative technologies include WATCH OUT (AI-powered autonomous machining cells), TYX (low-energy metal forming technology), Aquiweb (digital production management), and KAIROS (automation systems), unified under the LISI Boost operational excellence framework.
