92 Rafales by 2022, 164 by 2023 already… The Dassault Aviation group is seeing its orders for military aircraft skyrocket in the current geopolitical context. “Unprecedented”, according to the aircraft manufacturer. For the civil market, the order book is also filling up, with the development of the Falcon range (6X, 8X and 10X).

Dassault Aviation therefore needs to find new suppliers to keep pace with the increase in production rates.

SEGULA Technologies joined the ranks, and the aircraft manufacturer decided to test its technical experience and its ability to find the rare pearls that would fully integrate into its ranks to meet the increased workload. A successful challenge for SEGULA Technologies, and one that will open the door to new and even more motivating partnerships.

• Dassault Aviation was looking for a new supplier to meet the production needs of a full order book.

   

• The aircraft manufacturer was also looking to increase its production rates, or even double them, to satisfy each of its customers worldwide.

   

• It was confronted with a scarcity of aeronautical equipment supplies and a shortage of skills.

   

• The customer was also faced with the problem of the quality of its processes and the qualification of its personnel.

• Sourcing and recruitment of qualified production and maintenance personnel, from CV selection to interviews.
  
• Organization of exchanges with Dassault Aviation teams, so that they can validate on their side that the profiles are technically compatible with their processes.
• Integration of the selected fitters at the customer’s site, for the assembly of aircraft structural components, on-site accompaniment and presentation to the rest of the SEGULA Technologies staff. On site, a referent is present to act as a link between all employees and facilitate this integration.
• Safety training for new SEGULA Technologies employees.

• Technical assistance for aircraft sections at Anglet, with the ambition of working in the future as a project team on larger-scale projects and developing the partnership with Dassault Aviation throughout France.

25 employees recruited to work on the customer’s site from February 2023

• Highly responsive recruitment. SEGULA Technologies enabled Dassault Aviation to find the manpower it needed very quickly.
• Qualified personnel, both in terms of technical know-how and interpersonal skills, recruited specifically for the project, either from SEGULA Technologies’ own workforce or with the support of its AURA network of temporary employment agencies.
• A very competitive price.
