Engineering

From the second half of the 1990s, the strategy of acting as full service provider has been pursued by constantly upgrading engineering activities. 2002 marked the setting up of the Cambiano Engineering Center, with the aim of integrating styling and production activities and of offering the customer a full range of services. This goal was also reflected in the acquisition of Matra Automobile Engineering a year later and the setting up of Matra Automobile Engineering Morocco in 2005. The engineering sector, which now has more than 850 employees, proposes product and process engineering services, prototypes and experimantation, aerodynamic and aeroacustic analysis and research .
