The Chinese group Avic (Aviation Industry Corporation) takes control of the isothermal vehicle manufacturer Lamberet through its subsidiary Xinfei France. But the change in shareholding does not entail any change in the management organization and the functioning of the group, says the new buyer.
Erick Mejean, CEO of Lamberet, is confirmed in his position as well as his management team: “Lamberet will be able to strengthen its innovation capacity and competitiveness by taking advantage of the R&D and purchasing synergies of the Avic group. We also have opportunities through Avic to establish ourselves in new strategic markets (Asia, North America)”
The creation of a new factory is also under consideration. ‘ We are now able to self-finance our development, especially industrial, but the arrival of a shareholder like the Avic group will allow us to gain in competitiveness in an extremely competitive sector. This is very good news for Lamberet”
