Aciturri Aeroengines is nearing the completion of its entry into the French company Aerian, acquiring 45% of its capital. This operation, initiated approximately a year ago, is being carried out in collaboration with Tikehau Capital, who initially acquired full ownership of Aerian and will retain the remaining 55% after Aciturri's stake.
Following an information exchange process among regulatory authorities in France, Spain, and the European Union, the dossier has been formally notified. A 25-day period has been opened for the final approval of the Spanish company's entry into the French technological operator, which specializes in manufacturing high-complexity components for aeronautical engines.
The firm, headquartered in Miranda de Ebro (Burgos), has emphasized that this acquisition represents a significant step in its industrial strategy. Entering Aerian will allow Aciturri to incorporate new capabilities, particularly in the manufacturing of aeronautical engine components through sheet metal and welding processes, thereby strengthening its technological positioning in the sector.
Aerian's industrial presence in Casablanca, where Aciturri already has assets, aligns with the roadmap of the Miranda-based company. The objective is to triple its revenue within five years, increasing from the 100 million euros recorded in 2025 to 350 million by 2030. Currently, Aciturri employs over 600 professionals and anticipates exceeding 1,400 employees, with a projected investment of more than 200 million euros.
This operation follows other recent acquisitions by Aciturri Aeroengines, such as the 2022 purchase of Malichaud Atlantique, specializing in engine components, and Goam Industrie in 2023. Furthermore, it has increased its stake to 90% in Caetano Aeronautic, thus completing its integral platform of industrial technologies in Miranda de Ebro.
