Description

Dassault Aviation, a French aerospace manufacturer, has announced that it plans to create about 100 new jobs at its production plant in Seclin, France, by 2025.

The growth is linked to the company’s internal transformation plan and the inauguration of a new 13,000 m² extension designed for the production of primary machined parts in aluminium and titanium for both civil and military aircraft. The site’s workforce, which has already doubled from 300 employees in 2018 to over 600 currently, is targeted to reach a total of 700 people by 2025.

The expansion integrates ultra-modern industrial tools, such as a world-unique ‘12-axis’ machining process, which replaces chemical machining to improve the plant's environmental footprint.

Headquartered in France, Dassault Aviation is a global leader in the aviation industry, employing about 12,400 people worldwide.
