12/30/2024
The investment will include a new aircraft paint facility and training hub, located in a currently shuttered hangar at Wilmington Airport – ILG, which will serve the business jet market in the eastern U.S. and Canada.
“Satys is excited to expand our North American footprint in Delaware,” said Satys North America Director Francisco Sanchez. “We deeply appreciate the support from the State of Delaware and the DRBA as we approach the opening of our aircraft painting facility at ILG. We look forward to welcoming Delawareans to the Satys family, as we are actively recruiting for new positions and providing training to join the Satys Team.”
The Delaware Prosperity Partnership supported the company’s request to the state Council on Development Finance for a Jobs Performance Grant of up to $296,262 and a Capital Expenditure Grant of up to $38,316 from the Delaware Strategic Fund. Distribution of these grant monies is dependent on the company meeting commitments as outlined to the CDF, which reviewed and approved Satys’s request for up to $334,578 in total funding.
“Delaware will see many benefits with the news that Satys will grow its aircraft finishing operations right here in our state,” noted Governor John Carney. “This will create good-paying, skilled jobs for Delawareans and continued economic activity in the First State.”
Satys is a French and international industrial group active in aircraft painting and sealing and in manufacturing interiors for the air, aerospace and rail sectors. The group also has a surface treatment activity as well as a research & development division in its subsidiary Expiris. Satys currently operates 52 sites in Europe, North America, the Middle East, Asia and Africa.
“Satys is a global leader in aeronautics painting and surface treatment, and the DRBA is pleased to welcome them to Wilmington Airport,” said Delaware River and Bay Authority Executive Director Thomas J. Cook. “As the airport sponsor and manager for nearly 30 years, the Authority has worked hard to create an environment for businesses to take flight here. The sky’s the limit at Wilmington Airport, and we look forward to a successful, long-term relationship with Satys.”
