Sirius Space acquires SERM, adds two AddUp FormUp 350 metal Additive Manufacturing machines
Sirius Space Services, based in Colombes, France, has acquired SERM, a precision machining specialist located in Coudray-Montceaux. The company also announced a strategic partnership with the Fives group via its subsidiary AddUp, which included an order for two FormUp 350 industrial AM machines.
From completion of the deal, the facility will be named SERM by Sirius. The site will play a central role in the production of the SIRIUS family of launchers, particularly for the manufacture of critical components of STAR 1 engines, such as combustion chambers, injector plates, and turbo pumps, designed for metal Additive Manufacturing, as well as multiple pieces of the launcher.
In parallel with the activities for Sirius, the SERM by Sirius facility will continue to meet the needs of its existing clients in the space, automotive, aeronautics, medical and defence sectors. These include companies such as SAFRAN, Alpine, Renault F1, Peugeot-Citroën Sport or Mecachrome.
Antoine Fourcade, CEO of Sirius Space Services, shared, “By integrating the SERM, we consolidate our capacity to produce in France with a high level of technological requirements. This site permanently anchors Sirius in the reindustrialisation of space.”
The two FormUp 350 machines will be installed at the site to accelerate the integration of metal Additive Manufacturing into production processes.
Julien Marcilly, President of AddUp stated, “This partnership with Sirius illustrates our ability to support the actors of the New Space in their rise to industrial power, thanks to our technological know-how and our co-design approach.”
