History
CIMPA was founded in 1995 as a spin-off by employees of the Corporate Research Center of Aerospatiale[3] (now Airbus) in Suresnes, France.
CIMPA quickly expanded naturally to Toulouse and Nantes (France) for Aerospatiale projects, in Hamburg in 2001 (Germany) for new European Aerospace consortium EADS projects, then, in 2006 Filton (UK) and in Madrid in 2013 (Spain). In 2003, as an established company in the aviation and aerospace industry, CIMPA became a 100% owned subsidiary of Airbus SAS. From this point on, the name Airbus CIMPA or CIMPA SAS/ GmbH/Ltd is used. With further business in the south of Germany, CIMPA opened offices in Ottobrunn (2011).
Since October 2015 CIMPA is a 100% owned subsidiary of Sopra Steria Group.[4]
