GMP Group

What GMP Group does

GMP Group (GMP Groupe) is a French, privately-held precision industrial technology group headquartered in Saint-Pierre-en-Faucigny, Haute-Savoie, founded in 1968, with 51–100 employees and approximately €30 million in annual revenue. The company delivers end-to-end, tailor-made manufacturing solutions across the entire production value chain, organized into four integrated competency poles: GMP Ingénierie (upstream engineering and design support), GMP Additiv' (metal additive manufacturing by laser fusion, enabling complex geometries unachievable by traditional methods), GMP Industrie (high-precision and micro-mechanical machining, the company's historical activity since the early 1970s), and GMP Lab (dimensional, geometric, and metallurgical analysis plus R&D support). Operations are concentrated at a single site equipped with a clean room, an integrated control laboratory, and a temperature- and humidity-controlled machine park.

The company serves French and international large accounts (grands comptes) as well as SMEs (TPE, PME) and mid-sized enterprises (ETI) across aerospace, defense, medical, nuclear, space, and equipment goods. In aerospace and defense, GMP operates as a Tier-1 supplier (fournisseur de rang 1), with its precision manufacturing capabilities qualified into demanding customer programs. The revenue model is predominantly project-based and quote-driven B2B precision manufacturing services (one-off part production runs and engineering engagements) rather than a recurring software or product license model; pricing is not publicly disclosed.

In March 2026, Tikehau Capital acquired GMP Group through its Ace Aéro Partenaires II aerospace and defense fund — the fund's third investment in two years — with CEO Stéphane Guerraz and the management team retaining a minority equity stake. The transaction is positioned within a European aerospace and defense sovereignty thesis, combining sponsor capital for growth with management continuity at the operating level.

Core offering

GMP Group is an integrated industrial technology group that designs, engineers, and manufactures high-precision and high-complexity parts through four competency divisions: GMP Ingénierie (engineering consulting), GMP Additiv' (metal additive manufacturing by laser fusion), GMP Industrie (high-precision mechanical and micro-mechanical machining), and GMP Lab (dimensional measurement and metallurgical analysis). The company supports clients from initial needs analysis through to fabrication of simple or complex parts and assemblies for demanding sectors including aerospace, defense, medical, nuclear, and space.

Product overview

GMP Group operates as a unified precision manufacturing platform organized around four core competency divisions. GMP Ingénierie provides upstream engineering support and advisory services throughout project development. GMP Additiv' delivers metal additive manufacturing capabilities via laser fusion technology for complex geometries. GMP Industrie represents the company's historical mechanical machining expertise dating to the 1970s, offering high-precision manufacturing. GMP Lab provides integrated laboratory services including dimensional measurement, metallurgical analysis, and R&D support. Together, these four divisions enable GMP to support clients from initial concept and design through final manufacturing and quality verification of complex parts for aerospace, defense, medical, nuclear, and industrial equipment sectors.

Direct peers

• LISI Group: French-listed manufacturer of fasteners, structural components, and high-precision parts for aerospace, defense, and automotive. Comparable to GMP as a European Tier-1 supplier of mission-critical precision parts, though LISI is materially larger and more diversified.
• Mecachrome: French-headquartered precision machining and assembly specialist serving aerospace, defense, and motorsport. Closely comparable to GMP as a European Tier-1/2 subcontractor producing complex, high-tolerance parts for similar OEM customers.
• Aubert & Duval: French specialist in high-performance steels, superalloys, and aerospace parts, including forged and machined components. Comparable to GMP as a French-based Tier-1 supplier of technically demanding parts to aerospace and defense primes.
• Dedienne Aerospace: French multi-sector aerospace group producing complex parts and assemblies for civil and military aircraft, engines, and interiors. Comparable to GMP as a French Tier-1/2 aerospace precision parts specialist serving similar OEM customers.
• Figeac Aéro: French aerospace subcontractor providing precision parts, surface treatment, and assembly for major aerospace OEMs. Directly comparable to GMP in terms of product category (complex precision parts) and primary end market (aerospace).

Broad incumbents

• Safran: French aerospace and defense OEM and Tier-1 supplier of propulsion, equipment, and defense systems. Comparable to GMP as a key customer segment (Safran is a likely Tier-1 buyer of precision parts), and as a participant in the same European aerospace supply chain.
• Airbus: European commercial aircraft OEM and the dominant buyer of European Tier-1 precision parts. Comparable to GMP in that Airbus (and its Tier-1 ecosystem) is a primary end customer; GMP is a small supplier within Airbus's much broader supply chain.
• Premium AEROTEC: Large European Tier-1 aerostructures and precision parts manufacturer, owned by Airbus, serving commercial and military aircraft programs. Comparable to GMP as a European aerospace precision parts supplier, but at materially greater scale and as part of a wider Airbus-aligned portfolio.

Emerging players

• Bodycote: Global provider of heat treatment and metallurgical services serving aerospace, defense, and medical OEMs. Comparable to GMP Lab and GMP's metallurgical/quality capabilities, though Bodycote is a pure service provider rather than an integrated parts manufacturer.
• Burloak Technologies: Canadian specialist in metal additive manufacturing for aerospace, space, and medical applications. Comparable to GMP Additiv' as an emerging player in serial-production metal 3D printing for the same demanding end markets GMP serves.
