Bordeaux is the operational headquarters of Kronos Engineering, run by engineers who have practised special processes since 2009. Our 9 rue de Condé site houses the integrated workshop (shot peening, shot blasting, HFMI), the process engineering office, the quality function — traceability compliant with the prime contractor's AMS 2430 / AC7117 requirements — and the 24/7 AOG hotline. Nouvelle-Aquitaine is covered from our Bordeaux base, and our teams regularly operate on the Bordeaux and Landes aerospace cluster.

The Bordeaux area is home to one of the densest aerospace and defense clusters in France, with prime contractors such as Dassault Aviation in Mérignac, ArianeGroup in Saint-Médard-en-Jalles, Safran Helicopter Engines in Bordes, Thales Avionics in Le Haillan or Airbus Atlantic in Rochefort.

Kronos Engineering covers this cluster from its Bordeaux headquarters, with short logistics and contained lead times for series-treated parts.

Processes typically deployed in Bordeaux: shot peening · cold working · flapper peening · roto-peening · HFMI · precision boring · surface replica · ultrasonic peening.
