Following the acquisition of iXblue by Group Gorgé end of September, ECA Group and iXblue have announced that both companies will be operating under a new joint brand: Exail.
With this alliance, Exail specialises in cutting-edge robotics, maritime, navigation, aerospace and photonics technologies.
"Joining forces under a joint brand allows us to become a major global player capable of addressing new and larger markets, but also to federate our 1500 employees around the same banner," Fabien Napolitano, CEO of iXblue, said. "Together, we will keep pushing back the frontiers of science to take our technological excellence to new heights.
"The new synergies created with Exail open up unlimited prospects for the development of new products and systems that will continue to push back technological limits and expand our customers capabilities.”
“Our world is facing many challenges, whether they are security, environmental or societal. At Exail, we are convinced that the development of disruptive technologies will enable us to rise to these new challenges," Dominique Giannoni, CEO of ECA Group, said. "By mastering cutting-edge technologies, we are at the heart of our clients' most complex missions. Whatever the environment, our robust components, products and systems will provide them with the utmost performance, reliability and safety, while our global team will support them as they face the most complex challenges, from the deep sea to outer space.
"Together, we will continue to create innovative solutions that help explore new territories, and we look forward to continuing to serve our customers and partners with our new enlarged offer.”
