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.

"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."
