SPHEREA, a 50-year history
SPHEREA's history began in the electronic department of Aerospatiale Aircraft division (notably produced the first automatic test bench for Concorde), Aerospatiale Missiles and Sextant Avionics companies.
These three companies were merged into a single entity to support the RAFALE Aircraft and LECLERC Tank programs, becoming EADS Test & Services when EADS was created in 2000. EADS Test & Services was attached to the EADS Defence & Security Division and became Cassidian Test & Services in 2010 when EADS Defence & Security became Cassidian.
When the Airbus Group was created on January 1st 2014, the restructuring of the EADS Defence and Airbus Space activities, grouped into a single entity, Airbus Defence & Space, was the opportunity for Test & Services to make a fresh start.
Test & Services opened up its capital to investors sharing this vision, which is resolutely aimed at winning new markets with a focus on innovation, and became SPHEREA in July 2014.
SPHEREA's aim is to only remain the leader in its existing sectors but accelerate growth and capture business in new sectors.
