NEC AERO S.A.S., a business unit of the COBHAM group, has been involved in the Aerospace and Defense industry for more than 70 years, as a leading company in the design and manufacture of lighting and man machine interface solutions dedicated to harsh environment.
To extend our capability to provide innovative solutions and to enlarge our capacity to supply a strong support to our customers in a long-term relationship, we decided to merge our activities with our sister business unit SMS (Société de Marquage et de Signalisation), which are both today located on the same premises at Paris. The merger was effective on the 1st of January 2011. The company name of this new business unit is SMS S.A.S. and we are still marketing ourselves as Cobham Avionics.
