Founded in 1995 and led by Damien Marc, who succeeded his father in 2005, JPB Syst√rme is a strategic partner to major global engine manufacturers, including Pratt & Whitney, Safran, GE and Rolls-Royce, due to its portfolio of patented products and strong capacity for innovation.

Ardian will leverage the strength of its international network and its expertise in supporting high-growth companies to help drive the group's technological and organizational development.
