Thales and Hexagon Form a Strategic Partnership
Hexagon's manufacturing intelligence division becomes a technology partner for Thales' operations and quality assurance across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
Thales and Hexagon’s manufacturing intelligence division have signed a five-year partnership agreement. It designates Hexagon as a strategic supplier of metrology equipment, software, services, and maintenance for all Thales sites across the EMEA region. For Thales, the partnership simplifies the procurement of advanced measurement and quality assurance technologies such as laser, lidar, and tactile measurement systems, as well as intelligent automation solutions.
Didier Perrigault, Global Expenses Procurement Director at Thales, and Stephen Chadwick, President EMEA at Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence, signed the agreement in person at the 2025 Paris Air Show.
"Due to the high demand for Thales systems and our deep technological innovation, we need and want to expand our production in the EMEA region," explains Didier Perrigault. "Quality systems with globally consistent standards are essential for our customers. Working with Hexagon will help us harmonize our operational processes across sites and support sustainable growth."
