Vallair strengthens the governance of its MRO centres to support future growth

Luxembourg/London, 13 October 2025: In line with market expectations and customer needs, Vallair announces a new governance structure across its maintenance centres. The reorganisation is designed to enhance management efficiency and sustain the Group’s long-term development ambitions.

• Grégoire Lebigot resumes his role as CEO of Vallair Industries, and now also as CEO of the Châteauroux MRO centre. He will be supported on site by François Fermaut, appointed Director of Operations. Formerly in charge of the aerostructure centre, Mr. Fermaut’s scope now extends to the engine business unit and the CHR2 airframe maintenance centre.
• Gilles Fossecave has been appointed CEO of the Montpellier MRO centre. He is supported on site by Jean-François Deorocki, Director of Operations.

This site-based management model will reinforce operational proximity and is entrusted to seasoned professionals who are widely respected within the aviation and MRO industry.

At Group level, Maxime Gorsse, currently Treasurer and CEO of Vallair Asset Solutions, has been promoted to CFO. This newly created position will consolidate accounting, finance, and investor relations, a practice proportional to the scale and ambition of Vallair.

These changes are part of Vallair’s broader strategy for an anticipatory stance on industry transitions, from the rise of composite-intensive aircraft to new technologies and evolving airline expectations.

“This new organisation is fully aligned with our strategy: staying close to our customers, strengthening the operational excellence of our MRO centres, and preparing for the future. Vallair is moving forward with the determination to anticipate the impactful transformations of the aviation industry and to respond with rigour, agility, and passion.” – Grégoire Lebigot, President of Vallair Group

Safety, quality, proximity, customer focus, and adaptability remain Vallair’s guiding principles.
