Company profile
Small engineered components with demanding jobs in aircraft and vehicles
LISI makes components that are physically small but carry demanding loads in aircraft and vehicles. Its two continuing divisions combine aerospace fasteners, structural and engine parts with automotive threaded fasteners, clips and safety components. The interest lies in the manufacturing depth behind them: forging, machining, coatings, additive manufacturing, plastic injection and automated inspection. A completed 2025 portfolio refocus means the former medical division must be understood separately from today's group.
Aerospace fasteners
Named hardware, defined applications and dated programme evidence
HI-LOK and HI-LITE pins, STARLITE nuts, HI-KOTE coatings and OPTIBLIND one-sided blind fasteners illustrate the range. MONADLOCK is a reusable beam-locked panel fastener, not a lockbolt. LISI links its broader know-how to aircraft and engine programmes, but each product-to-programme claim needs its own evidence: the Boeing extension dates from 2021, while the issuer's latest results deck separately records more recent agreement renewals.

Structures and engines
From wing-box fittings to compressor blades and flying printed parts
The structural range covers wing boxes, fuselages, doors, pylons and nacelles; engine work spans blades, vanes, discs, blisks, impellers, gears, rings and housings. Equipment parts serve wheels, brakes, actuation, landing gear, tanks and environmental-control systems. LAAM, a wholly owned LISI AEROSPACE entity, adds metal additive manufacturing, with named flying applications and a dated Airbus A350 serial-part selection.

Automotive systems
Fasten, route and absorb loads across a modern vehicle
Threaded and clipped parts reach engines, gearboxes, seats, bodywork, trim, cables and tubes. Safety components include parking-brake screw-and-nut systems, hydraulic connectors and bleed screws, produced through cold forging, precision machining and high-speed control. A 2026 cable-channel resource shows how the portfolio is adapting to high-voltage batteries, motors, driver-assistance systems and the greater wiring density of connected electric vehicles.

Footprint and refocus
Two current divisions after the medical-business sale
The current group reports 38 production sites across 14 countries and more than 9,600 employees, split between Aerospace and Automotive. Its operating agenda combines capacity, higher-value products, LISI Boost, automation, digital tools and customer-linked innovation. LISI sold the entire operating medical division on 31 October 2025; it became Precera Medical, while LISI retained only a 9.988% minority interest in the acquisition holding company.

Current 2026 update
What is changing at LISI in 2026?
LISI's two divisions are moving in opposite directions: Aerospace adds capacity and production-support inventory for aircraft programmes, while Automotive moves factories and redesigns small parts around electrification. The former Medical business is not a third operating division; LISI retains only a 9.988% minority interest in the acquisition holding company.
The change in one sentence
Tiny components create an aerospace capacity challenge; weaker automotive output accelerates a factory-map and product-mix reset.
The same skills in forging, machining, plastics and inspection now answer two different problems: too much aerospace demand and a car market shifting geography and technology.
Four lenses on 2026
The same four-quadrant format used in the Company profile.
01 · Aerospace bottleneck
Pins, nuts and blind fasteners are small enough to overlook and important enough to stop an aircraft line
LISI's product range spans pins, bolts, nuts, panel and blind fasteners, coatings and installation tools. H1 shows why the category matters operationally: US fastener revenue grew 23.7% with Boeing's ramp-up, European fasteners 10.7% and structural components 11.2%. Aerospace organic revenue growth reached 15.8%. LISI says productivity improved after heavy hiring in recent years and flow-optimisation work. It also raised raw-material and work-in-progress inventory and invested in capacity to support coming production and secure deliveries amid supply-chain pressure. Those are production-support choices, not evidence of excess or unsold stock, and the report does not bind every named product to a specific aircraft programme.
- Current signalAerospace organic growth +15.8% · US fasteners +23.7% · inventory built to support production
- Why it mattersThe effort devoted to components measured in millimetres shows how a major aircraft programme can depend on the availability of its least visible parts.

02 · Automotive factory map
Puiseux production moves out while Győr and plants in three regions gain weight
Manufacturing at Puiseux-Pontoise is shutting and transferring to other Clipped Solutions sites; its sales and design teams are due to move to LISI Aerospace's Saint-Ouen-l'Aumône site. Eurofound records 130 planned job losses and transfers to Hungary, Germany and Morocco. LISI says the industrial transfer is proceeding according to plan but temporarily raises inventory. H2 priorities are to finalise operational and functional integration of LISI Automotive Hungary in Győr and strengthen capacity in China, Mexico and Morocco. These are separate, still-active steps: the manufacturing move, team relocation, job impact, Győr integration and overseas capacity work should not be described as complete or collapsed into one destination.
- Current signalPuiseux transfer under way · 130 planned job losses · Győr integration targeted for H2
- Why it mattersThe reorganisation changes where products, engineering work and employment sit, not merely how the Automotive division reports fixed costs.

03 · Electrification in a small part
Cable channels make the electric-vehicle transition a wiring, vibration and packaging problem
LISI says an electric vehicle carries two to three times more wiring than a combustion vehicle because high-voltage batteries, motors, driver-assistance systems and connectivity add harnesses. Its cable channels organise and protect those harnesses, resist mechanical and vibration stress, save space and integrate clips. The H1 portfolio strategy also names braking, electromobility and interior trim. New-product orders represented 12.2% of Automotive H1 revenue even as segment revenue fell 4.2%. That percentage describes order mix, not a cable-channel contract, realised revenue from one product family or proof that electrification already offsets the wider market decline.
- Current signalEV wiring: 2–3× combustion vehicle · new-product orders: 12.2% of Automotive H1 revenue
- Why it mattersElectrification changes the routing and protection problem inside a vehicle, giving fastening expertise a role in electrical architecture rather than only mechanical assembly.

04 · What to watch
Three questions for the next disclosures
The next reports should show whether production-support investments convert into deliveries and whether the automotive reorganisation reaches its stated milestones.
- Aerospace deliveryDo inventory days level off as added fastener capacity matures, while customer deliveries keep rising?
- Factory transferWhich Puiseux, Győr and overseas-capacity milestones are completed in H2, and are the planned job effects updated?
- New-product conversionDoes the 12.2% order mix turn into later Automotive revenue without unsupported attribution to cable channels alone?
