Daher, or DAHER, is a French industrial conglomerate. Daher works in the aerospace, defence, nuclear, and automotive industrial sectors in the fields of manufacturing, services and transport.
History
The company was established in Marseille, France in 1863 by Alphonse Barban. The company was subsequently acquired by Paul Daher in 1898 and renamed Daher & Cie. The company's activity was then limited to maritime transport and foundry product trade.[citation needed]
In 1941, the company Lhotellier Montrichard is born in the middle of the second World War. The company positions itself in packaging and conditioning sectors and begins to enter the defense industry by manufacturing wooden boxes for American forces.[citation needed]
In 1972, the Daher group turns to nuclear power and installs 500 t cranes for the construction of French nuclear power plants.[citation needed]
Almost 25 years later, in 1999, Lhotellier Montrichard joins the Daher group.[citation needed]
In 2007, Daher acquired the Germany nuclear company Nuclear Cargo + Services (NCS), based in Hanau Germany. This marked Daher's first major push into the nuclear sector.[1] Subsequently, the U.S. Company, Transport Logistics International, Inc. became part of the Daher group on January 1, 2010 [2]
On 27 June, 2008, EADS announced its intention to sell a controlling interest in EADS Socata to Daher.[3] On 3 November 2008, EADS and DAHER announced that they had reached an agreement for DAHER to acquire a 70% share of Socata.[4] On 7 January 2009, DAHER confirmed its acquisition of a majority 70% stake in SOCATA.[5]
In 2011, the Daher group announced in early September the acquisition of Vanatome and Verdelet, two key players in the supply of equipment for nuclear power plants.[6]
In 2013, Daher company celebrated its 150 years of existence and announced in November the acquisition of the aeronautical equipment manufacturer Dyonix.[7]
In 2013, Daher becomes a major partner for the Airbus H160 helicopter, designing and manufacturing the tail boom and Fenestron.
In 2016, the TBM 930 very fast turboprop aircraft version is launched, and the 800th TBM comes off the assembly line.[8][9][10]
In 2017, Daher signs a logistics flow management contract with Airbus.[11]
