Vesam de Cantanhede will invest around two million euros in a new industrial facility with over two thousand square meters, which will double the area of the existing pre-assembly and testing zones. Construction begins in October, with full production expected by mid-2027. The new unit will join the existing three production units, mainly enhancing pre-assembly, equipment integration and more complex structures capabilities to handle increased orders from the defence, space, aerospace and industrial sectors.
Defence already represents 20% of the company's revenue, being a strategic area where Vesam supplies metal structures for military shipbuilding and projectile launch systems. Aeronautics continues to be the most relevant area, accounting for around 50% of revenue. Space is another priority sector where the company is taking its first steps, developing structures for antennas, telescopes and space platforms, functioning as a Tier 2 supplier for major European integrators.
The company, headquartered in Portugal with subsidiaries in France and the United States, carries out all engineering, research and manufacturing in the country, with more than 95% of its activity directed to international markets, especially Europe and North America. Vesam achieved global revenue close to ten million euros and has around 60 specialized professionals in engineering, project management, manufacturing, quality and assembly. The company created Vesam Academy to train talent, receiving students from across Europe to develop real projects for global clients.
