Figeac Aero initially offered a number of subcontracting services before quickly specialising in the machining of small aluminium parts. In 1994, Figeac Aero took over MTI which specialised in forming activities, mechanical welding and the machining of large parts. The aerospace market was experiencing dramatic growth at the time and the Company decided to fully concentrate on that industry and to focus on a sales offensive strategy, especially for exports. At the same time, Figeac Aero became the first aerospace subcontractor to use high-speed machining (HSM) technology.
