Sopra Steria has entered into exclusive negotiations to acquire the Manufacturing Engineering business of Daher Industrial Services, a subsidiary of Daher Group, in a deal announced on 28 May 2026. The contemplated transaction is scheduled to close in the second half of 2026, subject to prior consultation with employee representative bodies and customary regulatory approvals.
The targeted unit provides industrialisation and manufacturing engineering services to major aerospace manufacturers, positioning it as a specialist contributor within the sector’s industrial supply chain. For Sopra Steria, a major European technology group with established consulting, digital services and software activities, the move is designed to deepen its footprint in aerospace engineering and strengthen capabilities in critical manufacturing engineering processes.
The transaction forms part of a broader strategy to expand Sopra Steria’s role across the aerospace value chain, adding physical industrialisation competencies to its existing digital and engineering portfolio. Financial terms, headcount, revenue contribution and site footprint of the Daher business have not been disclosed.
