FIGEAC AÉRO FIGEAC AÉRO (FR0011665280 – FGA:FP), a leading partner for major aerospace manufacturers, is today announcing changes to its Board of Directors.
At its meeting on 20 December 2023, the Board of Directors acknowledged Éric Raynaud's decision to resign and decided to co-opt Albert Varenne as an independent director, for the remainder of Éric Raynaud's term (until the end of the Shareholders' General Meeting convened to approve the financial statements for the year ending 31 March 2028). This co-option will be submitted for ratification at the next FIGEAC AÉRO Shareholders‘ General Meeting.
Albert Varenne is an engineer by training and renowned aerostructure specialist and will therefore reinforce the Board of Directors' expertise in this field. He began his career in 1983 at SNIAS (France's state-owned aerospace manufacturer, later becoming Aérospatiale), where he was appointed head of production for the A320 assembly chain. He then moved to SOCATA (a French aircraft manufacturer) to develop belly fairings for the Airbus A330 / A340 programme, before being promoted to purchasing manager in 2000.
He then joined Airbus in 2004 as purchasing manager for composites, subsequently being promoted to head of international purchasing cooperation for aerostructure activities in 2006 and later head of the regional sourcing office for China and South-East Asia in 2016. Furthermore, Albert Varenne chaired the Chinese committee at GIFAS (the French aerospace industry's representative body) from 2019 to 2021.
