Mahindra Aero, a producer of aircraft components and assemblies, was recognised as one of the four most advanced sites under the Aero Excellence programme at the 2025 International Paris Air Show. The company received a Bronze award, and it was the only site outside Europe to be recognised among the top four.
Aero Excellence is an operational excellence standard for suppliers in the aerospace, space, and defence industries, aimed at improving supply chain resilience and accelerating industrial maturity. Launched in January 2024, the programme currently involves over 60 companies and more than 80 facilities, primarily across regional France.
Other sites recognised at the event include Denroy (Northern Ireland) with a Silver award, Liebherr Group (Lindenberg, Germany) with a Bronze award, and Safran Nacelles (Colomiers, France) with a Bronze award.
The Aero Excellence programme, designed by the French aerospace industry association GIFAS and operated by SPACE Aero, was developed over two years and is intended to provide a common operational framework for the aerospace and defence supply chain. It is supported by companies across France, Germany, and the United Kingdom and is open to all industry stakeholders. It is also supported by ADS Group Ltd (UK) and BDLI Bundesverband der Deutschen Luft- und Raumfahrtindustrie e.V. (Germany)
