Press Release, Le Plessis-Robinson, 08 June 2026: MBDA has acquired the activities of the Ecully, Moirans, and Palaiseau sites of Centum T&S, which had entered administration, with over 200 employees. This company is recognised by its clients for the expertise of its engineering teams and the quality of its accomplishments in the fields of electronics and test benches.
This acquisition is part of MBDA’s strategy to extend its engineering and industrial capabilities to meet the growing needs of its markets. In this regard, the integration of Centum T&S’s recognised electronic engineering expertise is a significant milestone in the development of MBDA. A new company will be created, wholly owned by MBDA, to take over the assets of Centum T&S and ensure the continuity of client contracts. This new subsidiary will also support the acceleration of MBDA’s production in France.
Eric Béranger, CEO of MBDA, said: “I welcome the teams of Centum T&S to the MBDA Group. The continuation of their critical activities and skills, as well as the integration of these new employees, will contribute to the ramp-up of our projects. This is an asset in our expansion and growth strategy, notably with the opportunity to develop a new employment pool in the Auvergne/Rhône-Alpes region.”
The newly created company, in line with Centum T&S, will offer a wide range of engineering services to sovereign clients to help them design and realise complex electronic products and subsystems.
