Industrial

The industrial markets include all applications that are neither military nor spatial, nor telecommunications. They also include civil aeronautics, automotive, civil infrared equipment as well as the medical or instrumentation sectors.

Egide provides equipment manufacturing for Airbus Industry, Boeing and Embraer, notably by offering protective packaging for engine management systems (FADEC - Full Authority Digital Engine Control) or the relay bases. In the automotive sector, Egide sells packages for anti-collision radar ("intelligent" speed regulators), which are currently in a down-market shift (they were previously reserved for larger luxury sedans). The company’s technical capabilities permit it to offer the components necessary for this safety equipment, which originated in the military field.

The desire to improve safety has led to the arrival of multiple civil infrared applications: border surveillance, industrial buildings and public places, medical diagnostic aids, blind flying assistance, gas detection. Also derived from military applications, they have experienced considerable growth, thanks to products used by fire-fighters (seeing through smoke), safety (site surveillance), predictive maintenance (diagnosing a short-circuit before it happens), by the medical profession (tumor detection), or by the automobile industry (night vision).

Finally, aided by the offerings of cast metal products of Egide UK, the group aims toward a broad industrial market (instrumentation, agricultural equipment) and medical sector (knife handles), acutely attuned with the market conditions, but nonetheless a source of needed diversification.
