EGILE MECHANICS SL

Their core work

Egile Mechanics is a Spanish precision engineering SME specializing in aerospace engine components and advanced manufacturing for the aviation sector. They contribute to Clean Sky 2 (CS2) programs focused on aircraft engine development, combustion systems, and flight-critical actuator technologies. Their work spans from traditional engine component manufacturing to additive manufacturing of specialized motors for aircraft control systems, positioning them as a supply-chain partner for European aerospace OEMs.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

Egile Mechanics entered H2020 in 2018 with a strong focus on traditional aircraft engine combustion components, receiving their largest single grant (EUR 1.1M) for engine work. By 2019-2020, their portfolio broadened to include additive manufacturing techniques (ADDIMOT) and system-level demonstrator activities (GAM-2020-ENG), suggesting a shift from pure component supply toward advanced manufacturing methods and higher integration levels. The trajectory points to a company moving up the aerospace value chain from parts supplier to technology contributor.

Moving from conventional engine parts manufacturing toward additive manufacturing and integrated demonstrator-level contributions within Clean Sky 2, suggesting growing technical ambition and capability.

How they like to work

Egile Mechanics operates exclusively as a participant, never leading projects — consistent with an SME contributing specialized manufacturing expertise to large aerospace consortia. With 42 unique partners across 12 countries in just 3 projects, they work within the large, multi-partner consortia typical of Clean Sky 2 Joint Undertaking calls. This indicates a company comfortable operating within complex aerospace supply chains and meeting the quality standards expected by major aviation primes.

Despite only three projects, Egile Mechanics has collaborated with 42 unique partners across 12 countries, reflecting the broad multinational consortia of the Clean Sky 2 programme. Their network is heavily oriented toward the European aerospace industrial base.

What sets them apart

Egile Mechanics combines traditional precision engineering with emerging additive manufacturing capabilities specifically applied to aerospace — a niche that few SMEs occupy. Based in Mendaro in Spain's Basque Country, a region with deep industrial manufacturing heritage, they bring production-floor capability to research consortia that often lack hands-on manufacturing partners. For consortium builders, they offer a rare profile: a small, agile manufacturer that has already been vetted through multiple Clean Sky 2 programmes.

Highlights from their portfolio

• ENG GAM 2018
  Their largest project (EUR 1.1M) focused on aircraft engine combustion components under Clean Sky 2's Engine Integrated Technology Demonstrator.
• ADDIMOT
  Demonstrates their capability in additive manufacturing applied to smart active inceptors — a bridge between traditional machining and advanced manufacturing for aerospace.
