Senior plc announces opening of new French production facility

Senior plc ("Senior"), an international manufacturer of high technology components and systems, today announces that its French operating business, Senior Aerospace Ermeto ("Ermeto"), has opened a new production facility in Fossé, France.  The new facility is required to support growth and will expand Ermeto's capacity to manufacture high-pressure fluid conveyance components for European and global aerospace and industrial customers.

The new facility, which is adjacent to Ermeto's existing factory, has an area of 1600m², and increases Ermeto's manufacturing capacity by 25%.  The increased capacity will be used to produce industrial valves and high-pressure hydraulic fittings used in aerospace fluid-conveyance systems.  Ermeto is Senior's European centre for highly-engineered hydraulic fluid fittings, and is working in collaboration with Senior Aerospace Spencer, the Group's high-pressure hydraulic fluid fittings business based in Valencia, California, USA, that was acquired in November 2022.

Commenting at the opening ceremony, David Squires, CEO of Senior, said: "We are delighted to mark the opening of this new production facility.  This investment in Ermeto's growth will enable Senior to support our aerospace and industrial customers' increasing levels of demand".
