Values & Vision

Our vision The purpose, the reason for being

We push the boundaries
of aerospace industrial excellence
by leading and innovating
toward a sustainable world.

This is how we see our role and impact in the world around us. It’s what we believe in, what drives us in our work, and the deeper reason we exist. It’s our philosophy – the cause that shapes our actions within our ecosystem. Some call it “purpose”, others refer to it as the “why”. We could also describe it simply as our “reason for being”.

Our mission Expertise & craft

We safely design and deliver advanced
aerostructures, interconnection systems, and services
that help our aerospace customers succeed.

This is a clear description of what we do every day to bring our vision to life. It’s the core of our business – our craft, our expertise, and our know-how.

Our strategy Our plan to build a stronger Latecoere

Our ambition is to elevate Latecoere as the long-term partner of choice for aerospace OEMs, MROs, and airlines in advanced aerostructures and interconnection systems.

Our strategic plan Horizon 2028 provides that perspective: a multi-year plan to build a stronger, future-ready Latecoere.

Horizon 2028 is grounded in collective commitments:

• “We focus on our core portfolio in advanced Aerostructures and Interconnection Systems, and we maintain this focus until our operational and financial foundations are stabilized and sustainable”
• “We support our customers in their ramp-ups, adding value through flexibility, close collaboration, risk mitigation and innovation; we are rewarded by an appropriate price and long-term visibility”
• “Our growth strategy is centered on expanding Services – acknowledging its distinct business model – and pursuing selected new contracts in the Space and Defense sectors”
• “We are executing a step-by-step, long-term transformation of our value chain to secure competitiveness and reliability for our customers”
• “Our operations are guided by the highest standards of safety and quality, fully integrated within our sustainability framework, and consistently generating positive cash flow”
• “We invest in people development, in aerospace technologies industrialization and in digital capabilities to secure our positioning on the long-term”
• “We plan with clear, realistic and measurable objectives and are committed to execute with discipline, mobilizing the organization towards our vision”

Horizon 2028 is structured around 18 initiatives, organized into 4 strategic pillars and 2 cross-functional pillars:

The implementation schedule aligns initiatives with priorities and resources, sequencing actions according to operational and financial readiness. Tight monitoring is executed through quarterly reviews including risk management and financial analysis. Continuous plan review is deployed along progress to mitigate risks.

“Horizon 2028 is our chance to position Latecoere for the future. This three-year journey will make the Group commercially, operationally, and financially sustainable — enabling us to support our customers over the long term and step confidently into the next chapter of our story. This is why we named our plan Horizon 2028: it is a milestone on the path to new horizons. And it is within our reach, so together, let’s make it possible.”

– André-Hubert Roussel, CEO

Horizon 2028 is not a break from who we are.  Deeply rooted in our values, it continues a long tradition of evolution, approached collectively and with purpose.
